Maskerade (Masquerade) Rose Gut Oggau 2020 1 Litre

Maskerade Rose Gut Oggau 1 Litre, biodynamic conversion, few hours of maceration on the skin, mystery blend, new wine from Oggau estate, not yet part of the family but on the way! This new white from the Iconic Oggau estate in Burgenland comes from fruit from a new vineyard recently acquired and undergoing conversion to biodynamic farming. The masked character represents the fact that these vines are not quite ready to be included in the Gut Oggau family as until they were acquired, they weren’t farmed according to the Oggau philosophy of biodynamic production. The wines are made in the cellar in the same way as all Oggau wines and do not lack vibrancy, style and freshness. As this new vineyard develops, these wines will likely become part of the family but now, they are bottled differently (1 litre Magnum) and come in at a great price. Equivalent £24 a bottle.

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.
