Gut Oggau Edmund 2020

$129.00

Great rarity! Orange and natural wine from the prestigious Gut Oggau estate in Austria. Blend of white grape varieties from an unpruned and unploughed wild plot. At the estate, each wine reflects a personality from the large Gut Oggau family and here is how Edmund is presented:

“Edmund has come a long way, and we are happy to have this distant relative with us at Gut Oggau. A transient soul. We don’t know how long he will stick around. So, let’s enjoy him while we can. He is an unconventional type. Offbeat. Expressive. A product of the pure, almost untreated surroundings of his home. But beneath the first impression of a maverick who eschews the norms of society, you discover a charming and gentle character. And his Charm will draw you in. Even if you react initially to his unruly appearance. With every sip, you begin to accept his approach to life. To relish the alternative. And embrace the beauty of the unexpected.”

Winery Profile:
Gut Oggau was established by Eduard Tscheppe and Stephanie Tscheppe-Eselböck in 2007. The estate covers approximately 14 hectares (34.6 acres) of vineyards situated on the eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl in the Burgenland region of Austria, where a variety of grape varieties, both red and white, are cultivated.

What sets Gut Oggau apart is its imaginative labeling and storytelling approach. Each wine is represented by a fictional family member, depicted on the label with an artistic illustration. These characters, such as “Atanasius,” “Winifred,” or “Emmeram,” are given unique personalities and traits that are said to reflect the characteristics of the wine inside the bottle.

Gut Oggau follows biodynamic farming principles, which involve organic cultivation methods and a holistic approach to vineyard management. They prioritize biodiversity, soil health, and the natural balance of the vineyard ecosystem. The winery also practices natural winemaking techniques, with minimal intervention in the cellar and the use of wild yeasts for fermentation.
