Herrlich unaufdringlicher Duft aus weißem Pfeffer, Aprikosen und frischen Wiesenkräuter. Alles beisammen, alles entspannt. Schmeckt wie locker aus dem Ärmel geschüttelt, und ist dabei doch Ausdruck vorzüglichem Winzerhandwerks.

The 2016 Grüner Veltliner Am Berg is a light, bright, fresh and crisp Veltliner with clear and intense white fruit, fine acidity and a delicate mineral backbone. It weighs in at just 11.5% alcohol, is bone dry and really stimulating. Drink young and crisp and with fish!

Still a little undeveloped on the nose with some peach showing, but on the palate this has serious concentration and power for the moderate alcohol level. A very long, spicy finish. Better from 2018. Made from biodynamically-grown grapes. Screw cap.

Leuchtendes Goldgelb. Kräuterwürze unterlegt feine Passionsfrucht, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten, zart pfeffrig, attraktives Bukett. Gute Komplexität, saftig, elegant, eingebundene Säurestruktur, mineralisch im Abgang, gelbe Tropenfrucht im Nachhall, bleibt lang haften, profitiert von Flaschenreife.

The 2016 Feuersbrunner Spiegel 1ÖTW is a Grüner Veltliner that opens with a clear and intense, very attractive tropical fruit aroma of mango and passion fruit with some spicy stony aromas. Fresh, round and piquant on the palate, this is a well structured and juicy Veltliner with a stimulatingly pure, salty and refreshing finish. The aftertaste is long and very aromatic again and reveals the full body again without being overloaded. It is a delicious Spiegel with a long and tensioned, clear, almost dry, well structured finish. I tasted this enormously stimulating 2016 as a sample at Schloss Gobelsburg in July 2017.

I love the cool and minty nose, which is followed by a very elegant and concentrated palate with understated power that ends in a firework display of herbs and minerals. A great grüner veltliner from Bernhard Ott that will be better from 2018. Screw cap.

Leuchtendes Gelbgrün. Feiner Duft nach Blütenhonig, zarte gelbe Tropenfruchtnuancen, ein Hauch von Wiesenkräutern, etwas Mango. Gute Komplexität, saftig, elegant, finessenreiche Säurestruktur, mineralisch, zarte Steinobstnuancen im Abgang, Maracuja im Nachhall, tolles Potenzial, guter Speisenbegleiter.

From gneiss soils covered with white and red sand and finally loess, the 2015 Engabrunner Stein 1ÖTW Grüner Veltliner is a very clear, deep and flinty flavored wine with superripe white-fruit aromas on the nose. Rich and elegant on the palate. this is a generously fruity but precise and tension-filled Veltliner with a lush texture and a precisely mineral piquancy in the pure and salty finish. An impressive Veltliner full of grip and aging potential. Due to hail damage yields were very, very low in 2015 and only 4'000 liters of the 2015 Stein have been bottled from 5.25 hectares of vines. It was the deadline day of this issue (June 3) when I got the chance to taste the 2015s of Mister Veltliner Bernhard Ott, one of the leading wine estates in the Wagram region, if not the whole Danube valley. These wines, especially the grands crus or Erste Lage wines from Grüner Veltliner (indicated on the label as 1ÖTW), are the greatest wines Ott has bott

Leuchtendes Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Einladender Duft nach Mango und Honigmelone, unterlegt mit etwas Wiesenkräutern, zarte florale Nuancen, Orangenzesten. Saftig, gute Komplexität, feine Mineralik, straff und elegant, facettenreiche Säure, Pfirsichnoten im Abgang, leicht extraktsüß im Nachhall, gutes Potenzial.

Coming from gneiss soils covered with white and red sand and finally loess, the 2016 Engabrunner Stein 1ÖTW is Ott's one and only Kamptal Grüner Veltliner. Intensely citrus-colored, the wine opens with a clear and flinty bouquet of perfectly ripe white fruits and exciting citrus aromas. Round, finessed and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, complex and mineral Veltliner with intense and lingering fruit aromas that are almost tropical. Although the 2016 is a bit too sweet for my taste, and also lunch or dinner, it is well structured due to the fine acidity and perfectly integrated minerality. Mind, though, that as soon as the CO2 has disappeared, the wine will taste sweeter than in the beginning. Tasted as a sample at Schloss Gobelsburg in July 2017.

A very distinctive grüner veltliner from the flinty nose through the sleek and sinuous body to the intensely mineral finish. Made from biodynamically-grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap.

Ott's 2016 Grüner Veltliner Fass 4 displays a deep, clear and pretty intense white fruit aroma intertwined with a noble spicy-mineral, quite stony flavor. Medium to full-bodied, intensely fruity but also mineral and provided with crystalline acidity, this is a remarkably delicate and filigreed Grüner Veltliner. Ending with a clear, piquant and salty finish, it is a first-class wine to pair with many dishes, mainly veggies, fish and white meat. Tasted at Schloss Gobelsburg in July 2017.

Leuchtendes Gelbgold. Reife Quittennote, ein Hauch von Orangenmarmelade unterlegt, zarter Blütenhonig, rauchige Kräuterwürze im Hintergrund. Saftig, cremige Textur, angenehme Fruchtsüße, gelber Pfirsich, dezente Säurestruktur, feiner Honig mit Karamellnuancen im Abgang, sehr gute Länge, sicheres Entwicklungspotenzial.

The intensely yellow-colored 2016 Feuersbrunner Rosenberg 1ÖTW opens with a deep, intense and complex bouquet of crushed stones, perfectly ripe fruits and a lovely phenolic freshness coming from the skins. Gorgeous! The attack on the palate is piquant, the fruit super ripe and intense, leaving a densely woven carpet with some mineral needles and fine tannins on the palate. Coming from 60+-year-old vines, this is a great, full-bodied and vivacious Grüner Veltliner from the Wagram that reveals a long and vital, stimulatingly salty finish. Tasted as a sample at Schloss Gobelsburg in July 2017.

Flinty and rather closed. Not only extremely concentrated, but also very refined for grüner veltliner with an almost endless finish. Needs a couple of years before it will give its best, but this is a masterpiece of elegance from Bernhard Ott. Screw cap.

Ott's 2015 Feuersbrunner Rosenberg 1ÖTW Grüner Veltliner is a selection only from the oldest, 60-years-old vines, whereas in former vintages 45+-year-old vines were included. The 2015 opens with a fascinatingly clear, floral and herbal bouquet of great precision and individuality. With white-fruit aromas, but mainly mineral flavors, this is one of the greatest Veltliner bouquets I have ever sniffed. On the palate the wine is bone-dry, knife-sharp precise, elegant, finesse-full and rich in a reduced way. Less than 1 grams of residual sugar. Rich and juicy, but extremely sharp and mineral, with a great verve and livliness and a very long and salty finish. This is Ott's quintessence of Grüner Veltliner, and if I say Ott I am speaking of Mister Veltliner. A benchmark not only in the Wagram and a strong proof for the thesis that Wagram's loess soils do not necessarily give rich and creamy textured wines of great opulence. This Rosenberg is the w
