Mechtild Gut Oggau 2015/17

Mechtild Gut Oggau, Serious biodynamic white wine, 100% Grüner Veltliner, mineral terroir wine, immense complexity, showing lovely maturity. Mechtild is the Grandmother of the family. She is serious, wise, deep and has developed her complex personality over years in the vineyard and the bottle. She is the top echelon of the Oggau family tree. Not many Mechtild are available coming from a small patch of older vines of Gruner. She tastes a lot lot better than she looks!

Gut Oggau is a 14 hectare Austrian wine estate located in the province of Burgenland by the Lake Neusiedl. The estate is run by Eduard Tscheppe and his wife Stephanie, daughter of a 2 Michelin star restaurant owner. It is a certified biodynamic estate with each wine coming from a single plot of vines with different terroirs showing different expressions in the wine. The individual personalities of the wine are expressed in the faces on the labels created by Jung von Matt (German designer) and brought together in the Gut Oggau family tree. A unique and fascinating way of describing the wines, they taste every bit as intriguing as the labels suggest.
