Bernhard Ott says of himself: 'Ich bin ein Veltliner' and is a household name in Austria: he is even called Mister Veltliner. This has to do with his not inconsiderable stature but much more with the quality of his Grüner Veltliners. The company is located in Lower Austria in the Wagram, almost against the Kamptal and was founded in 1889. From the village of Feuersbrunn, which lies in the plain of the old Danube basin, the 'Kellergasse' runs up into the vineyards. The vineyards are therefore all close to the estate, mostly in Wagram and a small part in Kamptal and are located at an altitude of between 200 and 350 meters. The soil consists mainly of loess carried by the wind, varying in depth from 1 to 20 meters and often mixed with gravel. Bernhard has been at the helm since 1993: he was 21 at the time, but his parents trusted him to make the wines independently and they have not regretted it! Bernhard was the first producer from Wagram in Falstaff to be chosen as 'Winzer des Jahres' and his Rosenberg 2015 received 94-96 points at Parker. The wines are very pure and precise and have become increasingly finer and more subtle over the past 15 years. Since 2006, the winery has been working biodynamically. This Erste Lage wine comes from Bernhard Ott's oldest vineyard and is the most complex of the three. This wine has a rich yellow color and an expressive nose with a wide palette of aromas. The nose is reminiscent of sweet-smelling blossoms, the perfume of ripe peaches and a light hint of orange peel. The taste is broad and rich in juicy fruit, which is supported by a fine minerality. The finish is very long, in which light notes of white pepper also emerge
