from $144.00

We're delighted to receive our bi-annual Gut Oggau release with the return of many favourite family members! With a very small 2019 harvest & soaring cult status, our allocations are considerably smaller than past years. This is the Theodora and Winifred mixed pack in 750 mL bottles.

Receive one or three bottles of light skin contact Theodora and vibrant, savoury Winifred.

Gut Oggau, ‘Theodora’, White Field Blend, Burgenland, AUT

Theodora is the youngest member of the Gut Oggau fam (which is reflected in her wine being vinified from the youngest/most recently planted vineyard plot), mischievious and animated; with past vintages of Theodora we’ve imagined her as more of a chic & sophisticated city babe but this year she has evolved into bringing more of a dirty-haired nature girl energy to the table, which totally makes sense because, let’s face it, we’ve all really grown & progressed during covid— even, if not especially, Theodora. She’ll show you how to charge your crystals, but she’ll do it while wearing a sick a f Isabel Marant statement jacket.

This field blend (composed predominantly of Gruner Veltliner & Welschriesling) is well-structured, but softer, lower acid, and more textural than previous vintages, floral & playful, like braiding yourself a dandelion crown. Grapes are hand-harvested & destemmed, with fermentation taking place in used oak barrels for an elevage of about 9 months. Theodora is unfined & unfiltered, with zero sulfites, a fresh & breezy springtime daydream. Taking a big fat bite of Fuji apple, walking barefoot through the grass, stumbling upon an abandoned herb garden. Mineral character is expressed through a compelling wet clay note which makes us think that maybe Theodora is becoming a potter! You go, Theodora! We support you in everything you do. 

Gut Oggau, ‘Winifred,’ Blaufrankisch & Zweigelt, Burgenland, AUT

Winifred is definitely the secretly and most effortlessly coolest member of the Gut Oggau fam. Theodora and her hot bro Atanasius are fancy & exhilirating & we love them for it, but Winifred is like a Cat Power/Patti Smith vibes tomboy poet who can repair a car engine with the same degree of natural ease as she can quote entire passages from Finnegan’s Wake. This vintage of Winifred rosé drinks like Winifred went home to crash with her dad Timotheus & stepmom Josephine during the pandemic, setting up shop in her childhood bedroom, which has wall-to-wall dusty rose carpeting and a hidden anarchy sign carved into a secret spot on her wooden bedframe.

This is a perfectly balanced rosé; most significantly, the Winifred vineyard is used only to make a rosé, so there is no saignée from a red wine. Fermentation takes place in used oak barrels; the wine goes through elevage in said barrels for about 8 months, with no batonnage. Winifred is then bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with zero addition of sulfur. Half savoury, salty & deep, like swimming through warm seawater, half energetic, healthy & fresh, like crushing half a bottle of Gatorade Frost after a legendarily transcendent run. Bright cranberry, pink apple, pairs with literally anything, the ultimate wine bar glass pour.
