Ewald Tscheppe (Weingut Werlitsch)
Ewald Tscheppe (Weingut Werlitsch) Ex Vero II
Südsteiermark, Styria, Austria
natural wine full of character from one of the pioneers of the scene! the number II is by far my favourite of the three ex veros, all of them a similar cuvée of chardonnay and sauvignon blanc from the same hillside. the II features a perfect mix of tension, complexity, development and seriousness.
using the metaphor of a human face it'd be an old soul, calm and deep but with witty eyes and of good humour.
the 2008 is my personal darling vintage, needs to be aerated, showing nuts, blossoms and crushed stones in a salty finish, but remember: werlitsch's wines always are more than the sum of its parts. beautiful balance and much wine with only 12.5% alc.
furthermore an excellent value for it's reasonable price, easy food pairing (doesn't act up), gathering high attraction both of absolute newbies to wine as well as winefreaks with willingness to contemplate. . .

Good stuff! Complex. Not great day 2. It’s got like a pineapple coconut thing that just isn’t very pleasurable.

Very nutty, high acidity, salty finish. Very interesting Chardonnay/Sauvignon blend.
