Gut Oggau Mechthild White 2017 Magnum
Burgenland // Austria
This rocky and mineral-driven Gruner Veltliner is loaded with flavors of grapefruit, citrus rind, and white pepper. ‘Mechthild’ is considered the ‘kind-hearted grandmother’ in Gut Oggau’s family of wines. The head of the family and mother of the Gut Oggau vineyard. A resolute and strong elderly lady, who continues to guide the fortunes of the Burgenland clan and defies all of life`s trials and tribulations like a gnarled oak in a storm.
Gruner Veltliner from 60-year old vines on limestone and slate, hand harvested and macerated on skins and stems for 2 days. The wine is then pressed with an ancient wooden tree press and aged in old wooden barrels.
