Gut Oggau is an artisanal producer of natural wines in the small town of Oggau, Burgenland. It was started by Eduard and Stephanie Tscheppe in 2007. Eduard comes from a family of winemakers, and Stephanie’s family is in the restaurant business. The couple bought an abandoned winery and began refurbishing the vineyards and cellar. They earned a biodynamic certification for the estate and started making red and white wines from indigenous grapes. Each of wines is named for a family member, and a line drawing of that person’s face is part of the label. The wine Timotheus, for example, is a blend of Gruner Veltliner and Weissburgunder and is named for an uncle.
This grape grows in cooler climates and reaches its finest expression in Alsace, where it is the second most commonly planted variety. It is boldly aromatic and has a distinct bouquet of lychees. The grape be used to make dry, off dry and sweet wines, including ice wine.
