Bernhard Ott is called Mister Veltliner for a reason. Since 1889, the Ott family has focused entirely on the Gruner Veltliner grape. At 21, his son, Bernhard Ott, took over and dedicated himself entirely to organic winegrowing. The company has 50 hectares of vineyards in the Wagram region. He quickly won awards and produces exceptionally pure wines year after year, which are highly sought after. 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.
Stein is the name of the vineyard, located in the village of Engabrunn. Stein means "stone," and as the name suggests, the soil consists of loess, limestone, and clay. This makes it the only vineyard in the Kamptal Valley with this terroir. Moreover, the slightly cooler climate here gives the wines a pleasant structure. When the grapes are optimally ripe, they are carefully harvested by hand. In the winery, a strict selection process follows, followed by natural fermentation in stainless steel.
The Ried Stein Gruner Veltliner radiates a pale yellow color in the glass. The aroma reveals spicy aromas with characteristic notes of peach, pepper, pear, and a touch of mown grass. The palate boasts powerful tannins, ripe yet fresh with hints of melon and pear. The finish is long and powerful with distinct notes of spices such as pepper.
