Cool, youthful, taut and multi-layered. Yellow fruit dominates, nicely supported by grapefruit and herbs and firmly embedded in a mineral background. The texture is pure, austere and dynamic, the body is linear and like cast in stone. Precise and clear. Accompanies most of Austria's culinary specialities. Just at the beginning of its development. The Ott family was been producing wine since 1889 in the region of Wagram in Lower Austria, just to the East of the triangle of Kremstal, Kamptal and Wachau. The estate has around 28 hectares of vineyards located around Feuersbrunn and Engabrunn and Bernhard Ott now runs the domaine since taking over the reigns from his father in 1995. The vineyards are farmed according to biodynamic principles and 90% are planted to Grüner Veltliner with the remaining 10% being Riesling. Bernhards wines are pure, textured and driven and has quickly become a cult figure in Austria receiving the country's highest honour, the Falstaff Winemaker of the Year in 2008."

A great expression of Sauvignon Blanc, with plenty of tomato vine and flinty character, with a lick of passionfruit and stonefruit. Ripe and expressive, with great citrus characters. Great weight and texture.

Arguably Australia's finest example of a varietal Sauvignon Blanc. One of the rare versions outside of Sancerre that will mature for 10+ years in the cellar.
