Wine Description
The soilcharakter and altitude of the vines makes the difference. Ex vero I is grown on the more flat slopes on the bottomline of the vineyard. There is more clay on top of the soil and less Opok Rocks in the upper part of the soil. Morillon dominates this wine and Sauvignon blanc brings a certain spiciness.
