2022 Weingut Bernhard Ott Fass 4 Gruner Veltliner, Wagram

Fass 4 is the quintessential expression of the Veltliner made in the classic way neither a lightweight nor a baroque monument it is savoury, animating, full of pleasure of joy. For more than twenty years these attributes have been appreciated by a myriad of Veltliner-devotees throughout the world.

The Ott family was been producing wine since 1889 in the region of Wagram in Lower Austria, just to the East of the triangle of Kremstal, Kamptal and Wachau. The estate has around 28 hectares of vineyards located around Feuersbrunn and Engabrunn and Bernhard Ott now runs the domaine since taking over the reigns from his father in 1995. The vineyards are farmed according to biodynamic principles and 90% are planted to Grüner Veltliner with the remaining 10% being Riesling. Bernhards wines are pure, textured and driven and has quickly become a cult figure in Austria receiving the country's highest honour, the Falstaff Winemaker of the Year in 2008.
