Gut Oggau - 'Timotheus' 2021
Notes from importer: Gut Oggau is a project in the small town of Oggau in Burgenland, Austria, started by Eduard and Stephanie Tscheppe in 2007. They painstakingly restored the 17th century winery that had been abandoned for 20 years, including its 200-year-old screw press. The vines’ 20-year period of neglect was fortunate, as this allowed for all pesticide and chemical treatments to be washed away. This let them begin working immediately on vines biodynamically, where they are now fully Demeter certified.
When they began to work with the wines in the cellar, they noticed that each wine seemed so alive with its own personality, that they decided to craft labels centered around the personality inside each bottle. Thus they created a family of wines: each wine is given a name of one family member and the artist Jung von Matt draws a face for each label.
As all their wines express a unique personality and character, Timotheaus, from older vines, is firm and stands well on the ground, but is also open minded and welcomes new challenges with his usual winning ways.
Lean, herbaceous, with first expressions of delicious citrus aromas. On the palate, there is lemon with a hint of grapefruit, green apple and pear with a mouthwatering acidity that keeps wanting more.
Region: Burgenland, Austria
Grape: Gruner Veltliner, Weissburgunder
Vintage: 2021
