Gut Oggau – Bertholdi 2021 (ONE PER ORDER)

Bertholdi 2021 by Gut Oggau comes from their oldest Blaufränkisch vines, which grow on lime and gravel soils in an approx. LIMITED TO 500 Litres

This is a 60-year-old single vineyard of Gut Oggau. The berries are carefully pressed with a 200 year old wooden press, fermented spontaneously and matured for 2 years in used 500 litre barrels.

This is the most traditional and intensive expression of the wine family, a fully-grown, meaty-spicy Blaufränkisch with a convincing earthy calm & depth. Serious, complex and profound as befits a head of the family.

It was bottled unfiltered, unembellished and without any additional sulphur.
