WERLITSCH WINE | Ewald Tscheppe
Ewald & Brigette Tscheppe make superb, fine Austrian natural wine in Styria under the name Werlitsch.
Focusing on Sauvignon Blanc, Welschriesling and Chardonnay (known locally as Morillon), Werlitsch wines are very precise in their mineralic delivery on the palate. Often crisp, clean and highly expressive, Werlitsch is totally committed to their chemical-free & holistic principles and respecting the land.
Werlitsch is particularly known for their Ex-Vero range and being a member of Schmecke das Leben. Read more below.

A strong commitment to the land
Werlitsch sits alongside fellow respected producers working under the name ‘Schmecke das Leben’ (‘taste the life’), which is a band of five chemical-free & holistic producers committed to low-intervention work in the cellar and vineyard, and they work together to offer advice and support when needed to all achieve the best they can each achieve - and the results show! The other members of Schmecke das Leben are all, in our opinion, absolutely fantastic. They are Tscheppe, Strohmeier, Sepp & Maria Muster and Tauss.
Ex Vero - specific plots on the slopes
The Ex Vero range are specific Opok soil (mixture of clay & silt) plots numbered in relation to how high the harvest is taken. Ex Vero I are taken from the lower slopes, Ex Vero II the middle and Ex Vero III the highest part of the slope, where the vines are known to struggle a little more due to the rockier texture. Werlitsch also makes more skin-contact focused wines like the orange wines Glück & Freude, which are released in Clay bottles. The main difference between the two are that Freude is macerated as whole bunches, whilst Glück is detemmed before maceration.
