For over 130 years, the Ott family has been producing quality wine from the Austrian region of Wagram. Since 1993, it has been owned by Bernhard Ott, who owns approximately 30 hectares of vineyards. He focuses entirely on producing the finest Grüner Veltliner grapes, and you often hear him exclaim, "Ich bin ein Veltliner" (I'm a Veltliner). He even calls himself Mister Veltliner. And that's saying something. He has invested heavily in recent years, completely renovating his wine cellar. Thanks to his innovative adjustments, the company continues to grow year after year, and with it, the quality of the wines.
The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 260 to 350 meters above sea level. The cool climate is highly beneficial for the quality of the grapes. The soil consists of loess with a high concentration of gravel, and the vineyards are fully organic. All these factors allow the Grüner Veltliner grapes to develop their beautiful characteristics. A strict selection process takes place in the vineyard itself, and only the finest grapes are harvested entirely by hand. A gentle pressing follows in the cellar, after which the juice undergoes cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks. After several months of rest, the wine is bottled and ready to be enjoyed.
The aroma is a slightly spicy Grüner Veltliner with floral notes and subtle hints of fennel. The taste is an elegant white wine with notes of pear, apple, lemon, and grapefruit. A delightfully accessible Gruner Veltliner with a hint of pepper in the finish.
