Edmund Gut Oggau 2018 ORANGE WINE

Edmund Gut Oggau,ORANGE WINE, biodynamic wine, undisclosed grape varieties, rare tiny production member of the Oggau family tree. This new wine from the genius of Eduard and Stephanie Tscheppe come from a tiny vineyard growing completely wild with no intent to change it in any way from Eduard’s perspective. The indigenous grapes varieties growing there are undisclosed, (not sure Eduard actually knows what they are either). The skin contact wine they make is produced in miniscule quantity, a mere 48 bottles were available to the UK market for the 2018 vintage. The wine is superb, still very young, beautifully balanced and fresh so would be superb for long ageing and that certain Je ne sais quoi that all Oggau wines have, Edmund, our new Rasta addition to the family has in spades. This wine is the spirit!!

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.
