Werlitsch
Ex Vero II S 2017
Like fresh mountain air with a lick of salt, this wine is reminiscent of ski trips and salty winter food with a touch of sweetness (that's what the 'S' stands for). This wine is for cheese lovers - over raclette, or over a selection of your favourite Blue, Ash, Soft & Strong.
The vineyards here have been renowned for qualitative wines for centuries; so much so that they were documented in a wine map of the early 1800s. The Ex Vero II cuvée comes from the middle section of the slopes, which are planted on 'opok' soils (the local name for clay with a high degree of limestone), and is half Sauvignon Blanc, half 'Morillon' (the local name for Chardonnay).
