Wine Description:
Gut Oggau Bertholdi Rot is a unique wine produced in Austria, specifically in the Burgenland region. Gut Oggau is known for its commitment to organic or biodynamic farming practices. The wine is crafted with great care and respect for the environment and the traditions of the region. This wine is crafted from Blaufränkisch grapes sourced from 60-year-old vines that grow in a single vineyard within the Gut Oggau estate. The vineyard's soil is characterized by limestone and gravel, which imparts distinctive characteristics to the wine. The winemaking process is meticulous and traditional. After hand-harvesting the grapes in small crates, they undergo partial destemming and spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged for two years in large, used 500-liter barrels. Bertholdi Rot is known for being the most traditional and intense representative of the Gut Oggau wine family. It's described as a mature, full-bodied Blaufränkisch with a rich, spicy character and an irresistible earthy depth. This wine is complex, serious, and profound, fitting for a patriarch of the family. Notably, it is bottled without filtration, fining, or the addition of sulfur. Pros:
- Well-balanced acidity
Cons:
- May not be appealing for traditional wine drinkers
