Wine Description
The vines of Ex vero III are rooted in our poorest soils and locations. This is the top part of the vinyard where mainly Opok (chalky Marl) is dominat and where the sunlight is strongest. This always results in fully ripe fruit with a full complex flavor and textur.
Tasting Notes
Dense oily texture flows from this wine. In its youth, the contents coming from the soil, the minerality, the fine tannin, as well as these earthy tones are still veiled by a sweetish texture of wood and alcohol. However, these mature well in the bottle and fineness emerges. Power and elegance characterise this wine. I lack the possibility to describe this wine adequately. In the end, it is the individual sensation that counts.
