Weingut Bernhard Ott is one of Austria’s most innovative producers of Grüner Veltliner. The Ott estate, founded in 1889 and still family-run, farms 50 hectares of certified biodynamic vineyards. Bernhard Ott’s approach is firmly rooted in low-intervention winemaking: whole-cluster maceration, 100% stem inclusion, and spontaneous fermentations in a mix of Stockinger fuders. Ott was also a founding member of respekt-BIODYN in 2007, alongside Johannes Hirsch and Fred Loimer - a group now synonymous with the advancement of biodynamic viticulture in Austria. The winery is based in Feuersbrunn, in the south-western Wagram, with vineyard holdings just north of the village as well as a small but significant parcel in the Stein vineyard across the Kamptal border.
"Pale greenish-yellow, with silvery highlights. Delicate floral nuances, subtle notes of white pome fruit, underpinned by a hint of tobacco-like spice, a mineral touch, and a bouquet that is still somewhat reserved. Complex, taut, cool apple fruit, subtle extract sweetness, a refined acidity profile, a hint of mango, a briny character, very good length, elegant and already well-developed, a multifaceted food pairing with solid aging potential. 97 points." Peter Moser, Falstaff
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
