Bernhard Ott, Gruner Veltliner Ried Stein Kamptal DAC, 2023
Ott's Gruner has always sizzled with mineral intensity, and Ried Stein is where that character goes deepest. This single site is unique in the area, layering Gfohler gneiss, red and white sands, chalk and loess all left behind by an ancient course of the Danube, and that geological jumble is exactly what gives the wine its flinty, stony cut. Bernhard Ott farms biodynamically and ferments this cuvee in stainless steel, leaving it on the lees until late-summer bottling for breadth and grip without any toasty oak flavor. The 2023 is a riper, generous vintage, so expect a touch more flesh and fruit while keeping the savory, salty Stein signature. This is a serious, full-bodied Gruner that rewards a little air or a few years in the cellar.
