Description

Josephine is a wine with a wild heart and a mischievous grin - equal parts charm and challenge. A blend of Blaufränkisch and Roesler grown on gravel soils, she brings an expressive southern warmth balanced by northern cool. The fruit is hand-harvested, destemmed, and fermented in large old barrels, then aged for just eight months to keep things fresh and immediate.

What you’ll find in the glass is a wine bursting with red and black berries, a twist of peppery spice, and an earthy, savoury undertone. The tannins are fine and chalky, bringing just enough structure to keep things in line without weighing them down. It’s full of energy and intrigue, a wine that delights in keeping you on your toes.

Playful, grounded, and full of personality - Josephine is the kind of wine that opens your palate and your mind. One of the most soulful and captivating characters in the Gut Oggau family.

Gut Oggau

Gut Oggau is one of Burgenland's finest cult producers.

Eduard Tscheppe & Stephanie Tscheppe-Eselböck took over Vineyard Wimmer, a 13-hectare estate near the banks of Lake Neusiedl, in 2007.

In the intervening years, they have converted the vineyard to biodynamics (Demeter certified) and set about producing some of Burgenland's most electric lo-fi wines.

Raw, charismatic and lively, the Gut Oggau Australian allocations come and go in the blink of an eye.
