Description

Timotheus always brings a quiet confidence to the table. A blend of Grüner Veltliner and Weissburgunder from 40-year-old vines grown on limestone and slate, this is one of the more structured and cerebral wines in the Gut Oggau family.

As always, he’s got depth and character to burn - one third of the fruit spent three weeks on skins, bringing grip and savoury complexity, while the rest went straight to old oak for a long, slow élevage. The result is a textural, amber-hued wine that hums with citrus oil, dried herbs, crushed stone and a whisper of orchard fruit. There’s a groundedness here that feels timeless.

If Theodora is the bright spark, Timotheus is the steady hand - a wine that doesn’t need to shout to make a lasting impression. He’s the kind of companion who lets the conversation go deep. A hedonist with soul, and one of the most compelling expressions of this vineyard and vintage.

Age of Vines: 40 years old
Yields: 1-2 tons per hectare
Soil: Limestone, Slate, Gravel and Sand
Vinification Method: Grapes are hand harvested and partially destemmed. One third of the grapes ferment on skin for 3 weeks while the rest are directly pressed, after which the wine is re-blended. Fermentation takes place in used 500-litre barrels. The wine stays in barrel for an elevage of about 12 months, with no batonnage. The wine is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with zero addition of sulphur.

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.
