Mechthild is known by Eduard and Stephanie as the "mother of the Gut Oggau vineyard". It is made from 100% Grüner Veltliner, coming from 60-year-old vines (the oldest among Gut Oggau's holdings) planted on lime and slate soils. It is fermented on skins before being pressed in a 200-year-old wooden press. It is matured for two years in neutral oak barrels on full lees and then bottled unfined and unfiltered with no sulphur additions.

Gut Oggau Mechthild 2019

Lifted and floral Blaufränkisch from the one and only Claus Preisinger! Grown on limestone soils, known as 'kalkstein' in German, there is a lovely undertow of chalky minerals to support the vibrant fruit. Fragrant red cherry blossom, tart raspberry, green herbs, and light peppery notes with fine-boned tannins and fresh acidity. An absolute delight!
