Very pristine and youthful with a stunning combination of concentration and grace on the palate. This is one of the highlights of the vintage for Austria's signature grape. Very long, cool finish with a slew of herbs and minerals. From biodynamically grown grapes. Respekt certified. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Mittleres Grüngelb, Silberreflexe. Zart rauchig unterlegte gelbe Apfelfrucht, ein Hauch von Blütenhonig und Mango, feine Kräuterwürze, tabakiger Touch. Komplex, engmaschig, feine weiße Apfelfrucht, finessenreicher Säurebogen, zitronig-mineralisch im Abgang, sehr gute Länge, sicheres Reifepotenzial.

From 60+-year-old vines, Ott's 2018 Grüner Veltliner Ried Feuersbrunner Rosenberg 1ÖTW is deep, pure and fresh but also ripe and yeasty on the precisely mineral and iodine-scented nose. Round, lush and intense on the densely textured palate, this is a full-bodied, rich and powerful yet refreshing Veltliner with a hint of caramel on the finish but even more salts and tension. This has a terroir-driven soul but is also characterized by the warm vintage. The Rosenberg is not really massive but truly rich and powerful. The grapes were picked very early, but in contrast to other producers, there are no hints of unripeness or drying phenols. Tasted at Schloss Grafenegg in September 2019 and in my home office in December.

Mittleres Grüngelb, Silberreflexe. Zart rauchig-kräuterwürzig unterlegte gelbe Tropenfrucht, ein Hauch von Ananas und Mango, zarte Nuancen von frischen Mandarinenzesten. Stoffig, feine weiße Frucht, straff und lebendig, angenehme Extraktsüße, finessenreiche Struktur, tolle Länge, sehr gutes Zukunftspotenzial.

Picked on September 28, Ott's 2017 Grüner Veltliner Ried Feuersbrunner Spiegel 1ÖTW is very clear, subtle and elegant on the distinctive nose. In early September 2018, the nose displayed white stone fruits intertwined with refreshing, refining gravelly and floral notes. Later that month, the wine showed tropical notes on the intensely fruity, elegant, sexy nose. Full-bodied, rich and dense on the palate, with intense, lush, concentrated fruit and vitalizing, fine acidity, this is a very persistent and powerful Veltliner with a very long, forward, mineral and tensioned finish. This is a powerful but elegant giant and needs time to gain finesse and transparency. The elegance here, however, is remarkable. Tasted twice in early and late September 2018.

Tons of white pepper, but also lemon zest and licorice. Great freshness for the vintage. Dense but only medium-full palate and a very long, mineral finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Respekt certified. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Aromas of sliced green apples and pears with white pepper and light, fresh herbs. The palate is sleek and juicy with a smooth build of lime and apple flavors. Pure, minerally finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
