Sauvignon Blanc and Morillon blend grown on chalk, clay and marl soils from vines averaging 30 years old.  Destemmed and fermented in open cask for between two to three weeks,  then aged for 24 months on the lees in used oak barrels. 
Glück means happiness in German, and it is hard to argue with the name after a glass of this. It is one of the most distinctive bottles Ewald and Brigitte Tscheppe produce: an orange wine of real depth and personality, released in a clay bottle that is as much a statement of intent as a practical choice. Ewald says: “As they were made in clay, he wanted them to stay in clay. That was the idea, but we also realised that the clay bottles influence the wines in a positive way.” 
The colour is a deep golden amber. The nose offers great depth, with notes of lychee, honey, hazelnut and stewed apricot. 
On the palate there is ripe pear, dried herbs, salty minerality, dense structure and deep tension. The extended skin contact gives the wine a gentle grip and a warmth that sets it clearly apart from the more tightly wound Ex Vero range.
In ideal vintages only, Ewald and Brigitte produce skin-contact wines such as Glück.  This makes it genuinely scarce.
A wine to share slowly, with food: slow-roasted pork, aged mountain cheeses, roasted root vegetables, or anything with a satisfying richness that can meet the wine’s texture head on.
