Bernhard Ott Am Berg Gruner Veltliner 2025

Profile & Story

The Ott family has farmed Austria's Wagram since 1889; Bernhard Ott, the fourth generation, has run the estate since 1993 and helped found the respekt-BIODYN biodynamic growers' group in 2007. ‘Am Berg’ ("from the mountain") has been produced since 1994 as the estate's entry-level, by-the-glass Gruner Veltliner. Fruit is hand-picked from loess-soil vineyards around Feuersbrunn, Gosing, and Fels am Wagram, then spontaneously fermented and aged mostly in stainless steel with some large Stockinger foudre.

Pairing Recommendation

A classic match for schnitzel, roast chicken, or a charcuterie board; its peppery lift also works well with lighter Asian dishes.
