We have been begging for a small allocation of the stunning wines of Werlitsch for years and a tiny amount is finally in Ontario for the first time. While some low-intervention wines are wild and freaky (& we love 'em), these are complex, super fine and ageable - though tasting freakin' delicious right now. Extremely limited quantities.

Each two pack includes one bottle 2018 Ex Vero & one bottle 2017 Glück.

Ex Vero I

‘Ex Vero’ means out of the truth in Latin, a phrasing which big time characterizes Werlitsch winemakers’ Ewald & Brigitte Tscheppe’s holistic approach to winemaking. The grapes used to make Ex Vero I— a blend of Chardonnay & Sauvignon Blanc— are grown at the lowest point of a hillside slope where soils are dense & clay-based, giving the wine a petrol & gunpowder-driven, low-top Docs-sporting minerality, a badass metallic edge to an otherwise soft-hearted and enveloping wine. Aged for two years in old oak, rich warm caramel notes call to mind a handful of Werther’s Originals scattered across the bottom of your cool aunt’s well-worn Vuitton purse. On the palate, we’ve got candied citrus with a wink of grapefruit skin bitterness, clear, creamy pear, & sprawling acidity. Don’t be afraid to stash one in the cellar! Ages as well as a timeless leather handbag.  

Glück 

This skin-contact Chard & Sauvy B uses hand-harvested, destemmed, slow-pressed grapes, fermented in Austrian foudre and aged in its ICONIC ceramic bottle (which you obviously need to save forever) for around 2 years. The German Glück translates directly to Happiness, and this wine embodies the energetic nature of the emotion in its purest form, the feeling of receiving life news so insanely, life-changingly excellent that you have to run around the block three times to fully process it. Werlitsch skin contacts demand and command attention; they adore food but aren’t afraid to upstage it. Gluck is the kind of wine that makes you want to stick your nose deep into the glass— like, who even cares?! Life is for living!! Aromas of Meditteranean garrigue, jackfruit & dried apricot give way to an emotive, complex palate of dried apricot, honeycomb, and a lil sprinkle of salt for good measure. Cellar away!
