The Werlitsch Ex Vero II 2021 is a captivating and textural white wine that beautifully reflects its Styrian origins. On the nose, it unfolds layers of ripe orchard fruits—golden apple, pear, and quince—interwoven with citrus zest, white flowers, and a hint of wet stone. The palate is both energetic and deeply structured, showcasing a harmonious balance between richness and tension. A touch of oxidative complexity adds depth, complementing its saline minerality and subtle herbal nuances. The long, elegant finish lingers with a whisper of spice and a chalky grip, making it a stunningly expressive and contemplative wine.

 

Werlitsch is Brigitte and Ewald Tscheppe's biodynamic estate in southern Styria, tucked near the Slovenian border on the region's opok soils of calcareous marl. Ewald moved away from the simple, aromatic white wines often associated with Styria and instead built a deeply natural, site-focused project around Sauvignon Blanc, Morillon, Welschriesling and blends such as the Ex Vero series. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically, the wines ferment spontaneously, age for long periods on the lees and are bottled unfined, unfiltered and often without sulfur. They are energetic, mineral and contemplative, showing Styria as a place of depth rather than mere freshness.
