At the age of 21, Bernhard Ott was entrusted by his parents to start making his own wines. He took over the winery, and with success. He quickly won awards and year after year produces exceptionally pure wines that are highly sought after. He has invested heavily in recent years, completely renovating his cellar. Thanks to his innovative adjustments, the company continues to grow year after year, and with it, the quality of the wines. Bernhard Ott now manages nearly 50 hectares of vines, the majority of which are cultivated biodynamically. The winery places great importance on producing its own compost and fertilizer. Approximately 90 percent of its production is dedicated to Grüner Veltliner. Bernhard Ott also manages small plots where Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling are produced. Certainly the most important and best-known wine of the Ott family is the Grüner Veltliner Fass 4, which is also a tribute to his father, the founder of Bernhard Ott.
Bernhard Ott's most famous wine is this Fass 4. Made with grapes from five smaller vineyards around the Rosenberg, it offers a great deal of elegance. Only the finest grapes are carefully harvested. Once they arrive at the winery, they undergo a rigorous sorting process. This is followed by temperature-controlled fermentation. After several months of rest, the wine is bottled, and it's time to enjoy this Fass 4 Gruner Veltliner.
On the nose, a deeply spicy wine with aromas of black pepper, chili, and ripe apples. On the palate, a dry white wine with a juicy character. Spicy hints of chili and floral nuances emerge. The finish is elegant and uplifting.
