Gut Oggau Timotheus 2023

This wine story is a love story between Stephanie and Eduard Tscheppe. “It was love at first sight; I could have asked her to marry me immediately,” says Eduard “we knew that we wanted to do something together, but we didn’t have a master plan; becoming wine growers was fate”. It was the old 17th-century winery and surrounding vineyards that found Stephanie and Eduard back in 2007, and luckily for us, the rest is history!

Fortunately, there had been a year-long gap between owners, so the soils had the chance to be washed clean of the chemicals previously used. While the previous owners used to sell the grapes rather than to make wine in the late years, there was no reference in terms of quality or soil expression, which gave a completely blank canvas to work with.

What was important to Stephanie and Eduard was that they didn't change the vineyard but instead discovered its natural potential. Right from the start, their approach was to work alongside nature and treat the soil and the vines gently and sustainably. They were astonished at how much character came through the barrels, even in their first vintage; each wine seemed so alive, beaming with its own personality - and so the Gut Oggau family was born. Each bottle featuring a portrait of a fictional family member, communicating the differences in terroir through the portraits on the labels.

The portfolio is made up of three generations - the younger generation are planted on the gravel soils, which gives a more lively, youthful character to the wine. In contrast, the older generations come from vines planted in limestone & slate soils on the hillsides overlooking the village - they give a mature grown-up personality to the wines.
