Gut Oggau - 'Atanasius' 2023
Notes from importer: Gut Oggau is a project in the small town of Oggau in Burgenland, Austria, started by Eduard and Stephanie Tsche ppe in 2007. They painstakingly restored the 17th century winery that had been abandoned for 20 years, including its 200-year-old screw press. The vines’ 20-year period of neglect was fortunate, as this allowed for all pesticide and chemical treatments to be washed away. This let them begin working immediately on vines biodynamically, where they are now fully Demeter certified.
When they began to work with the wines in the cellar, they noticed that each wine seemed so alive with its own personality, that they decided to craft labels centered around the personality inside each bottle. Thus they created a family of wines: each wine is given a name of one family member and the artist Jung von Matt draws a face for each label.
Atanasius, can always be counted on, lusty, hands-on and direct, he never hides anything. He’s longing for something in life following his instincts, taking what the season throws a him believing in himself and his ability to reach for more.
A delicious blend with hints of leather, blackcurrant, lots of cherry, plum, lightly spicy and soft tannins.
Region: Burgenland, Austria
