Ott's Gruner has always sizzled with mineral intensity, and Ried Stein is where that character goes deepest. This single site is unique in the area, layering Gfohler gneiss, red and white sands, chalk and loess all left behind by an ancient course of the Danube, and that geological jumble is exactly what gives the wine its flinty, stony cut. Bernhard Ott farms biodynamically and ferments this cuvee in stainless steel, leaving it on the lees until late-summer bottling for breadth and grip without any toasty oak flavor. The 2023 is a riper, generous vintage, so expect a touch more flesh and fruit while keeping the savory, salty Stein signature. This is a serious, full-bodied Gruner that rewards a little air or a few years in the cellar.

"Vibrant and expressive, with juicy kiwi and pear flavors lifted by bright clementine-like acidity. The palate is lively and precise, showing energy and tension, with a clean, focused finish. Textural and layered, yet approachable, highlighting the site's freshness and character." —Aleks Zecevic

More about Bernhard Ott

Bernhard pioneered organic and biodynamic winemaking in Austria after a trip to the Domaine Romanee Conti in Burgundy, where Aubert de Villaine was making the world’s greatest wines with biodynamics.

Upon his return to Austria he and fellow winemakers Johannes Hirsch and Fred Loimer established respekt-BIODYN, a community oriented group of biodynamic farmers committed to helping each other and the earth through biodynamics.

He even goes as far to make his own compost, a task most growers avoid, but which makes Bernhard giddy as a school boy when showing off his tarp covered piles. Composting may sound like a bunch of shit to some, but his heaping use of the stuff has enabled enough water retention that he doesn’t need to irrigate, even in these record breaking hot recent vintages.

Even though he’s been in charge of his 5th generation estate since 1993 (at the age of 21), he has never stopped experimenting, whether with vessels, stem and skin contact, farming techniques or different grapes. His ultimate goal has always been to prove that his single vineyards: Rosenberg and Spiegel were capable of producing world class, long lived wines.

Grüner Veltliner soars to new heights in his capable hands and even his first three tiers Am Berg, Fass 4 and Der Ott are some of the best values in Austria.

Though Boudignon has recently been generating a lot of buzz for the electrifying Savennieres and Anjou Blancs produced under his own name, he actually got his start at Soucherie, where he retains his position as winemaker.

Château Soucherie has been around as an estate since at least the 19th century, but it wasn’t until 2007, when Thibaud was hired by new owner Roger-François Begûinot, that the estate began taking the necessary steps in the vineyard and cellar required for making great wine. Viticulture has moved towards organic in recent years, and harvesting is done by hand.
