Gut Oggau winery, nestled in the picturesque town of Oggau, Austria, is a top-notch winery founded by Eduard and Stephanie Tscheppe. The winery is situated in an abandoned 17th century winery, which the couple painstakingly restored, including a 200-year-old press. The winery cultivates grapes using biodynamic principles, resulting in exquisite wines that showcase unique personalities. The winery attributes these distinct personalities to the one-of-a-kind characteristics of the grapes and the surrounding environment.
Timotheus is an intriguing blend of Grüner Veltliner and Weissburgunder from 40-year-old organic vines. This textural gem dances between amber and white, delivering a sensory experience like no other. One-third of the grapes ferment on the skins for three weeks, while the rest are directly pressed, and later re-blended. Fermentation unfolds in seasoned 500-litre barrels, followed by 12 months of elevage, all without batonnage, fining, filtering, or added sulphur.
