Wine Description
The vines of Ex vero II grow on our slopes more in the middele of the vineyard. The chalky marl (Opok) is already coming to the surface but still soil is a mixture of brown clay and Opok. Less yields are the result and in the wine structure is more tight and tannin are elegant and compact.
Winery
