2017 Timotheus Weiss Gut Oggau Burgenland 0,75l

2017 Timotheus Weiß is a distinctive Ortswein from Gut Oggau, one of Austria’s most celebrated producers of biodynamic, terroir-driven natural wines. Made with minimal intervention and aged in used wooden casks, it combines remarkable texture and depth with the freshness and precision associated with Burgenland’s finest white wines.

Tasting Notes
The wine presents a rich golden hue. Its expressive nose opens with ripe pear, quince, yellow apple and candied lemon, followed by notes of chamomile, herbs, hazelnut and subtle smoke. With air, layers of beeswax, flint and saline minerality emerge. On the palate, Timotheus Weiß is powerful yet finely focused, with a creamy texture, lively acidity and impressive mineral tension. The long, savoury finish is marked by salt, spice and elegant complexity. The concentrated 2017 vintage gives the wine excellent ageing potential, and it should continue to develop additional tertiary nuances over the coming years.

Production
The grapes come from biodynamically farmed vineyards in Burgenland, where limestone, slate and gravel soils meet the warm Pannonian climate and cool nights. Fruit is hand-harvested and rigorously selected before undergoing spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. The wine is then matured for many months in used wooden casks, allowing its origin, structure and mineral character to emerge with minimal intervention.

Food & Serving
A versatile partner for refined dishes, this white wine is especially well suited to turbot, lobster, veal and poultry. Its depth and savoury mineral character also complement mushroom dishes, mature hard cheeses and ambitious vegetarian cuisine. Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended, particularly when young, to allow the wine’s layered aromas and texture to unfold.

Producer
Gut Oggau is internationally recognised for its biodynamic vineyards and expressive natural wines, which are crafted to highlight the character of their sites rather than a standardised house style. Based in Burgenland, the estate has become one of Austria’s leading names for elegant, age-worthy wines with a strong sense of place. Its wines are known for their depth, individuality and uncompromising connection to the vineyard.
