Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt Vineyard: 36 year old vines on gravel
Vinification: Hand picked and destemmed, grown with rose in mind, no saignee from a red wine. Wine goes through elevage in 500l barrels for 8 months, with no batonnage.
Personality: The daughter from Timotheus’s first marriage. Upon a first encounter she can appear to be somewhat shy and reticent, but also a unique, refreshing and charming young lady with an inquisitive mind
Gut Oggau
Welcome at Gut Oggau
Stephanie, from a family of restaurateurs, learned photography, studied hospitality management in Lausanne, traveled the world. Eduard, from a winemaking family, learned the wine-making ropes, studied business administration. Our common dream was and is to create something lasting, to change the world, to be inspired and to inspire. We bought Gut Oggau back in 2007, with a lot of youthful enthusiasm, a pinch of naivety, a vision and an exciting, rocky, steep road ahead of us. We dared to take the plunge into the cold water of biodynamic cultivation, out of conviction, in order to close cycles and to maintain and increase the vitality of the vineyards. We saw natural wine as an opportunity to express our unique soils and our origins.
And yet, we did not set out to be different. Not to provoke. We only stand behind our way, the one that is unreservedly right for us. We are proud of the uniqueness of our wines and our approach. Proud that our wine personalities move people all over the world. Nevertheless, our drive has long ceased to be solely the finished wine in the bottle. We see ourselves as agriculteurs, as creators of culture, as shapers of cultural landscapes. Our canvases are our vineyards. Wine is so much more than just a beverage.
