Bernhard Ott is one of Austria's acknowledged masters of Gruner Veltliner, and 'Am Berg' is the wine that shows why his whole range is worth chasing. It's the entry point to his lineup, but there's nothing entry-level about the farming: the Ott family has worked the Wagram, northwest of Vienna, since the 1880s, and Bernhard converted the estate to biodynamics years ago. The grapes come from the region's deep loess soils, which give Gruner its signature mix of freshness and gentle spice. Fermentation happens in stainless steel with native yeasts, and the wine rests on its fine lees through the winter before bottling. 2025 was a cool, damp year in Lower Austria that demanded patience through a rainy autumn, and it has left the Gruners leaner and more nervy than usual, with lower alcohol and more cut. Exactly the kind of Gruner you want by the case.

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.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

A natural with schnitzel, roast chicken, and salads with vinaigrette. Its cut and lift also make it a great match for spicy Thai or Vietnamese dishes and steamed shellfish.

Tasting Profile

Dry, light-bodied, and crisp, with green apple, citrus, and a hint of white pepper. Zippy acidity and a clean, refreshing finish.
