The Wine
Few wines benefit from large-format ageing quite like Atanasius. Produced from the same biodynamically farmed old vineyards surrounding Oggau, the Magnum format allows the wine to develop at a slower, more graceful pace while preserving the freshness and vitality that define the estate.
The vineyards are planted on a complex mix of limestone, slate and gravel soils, with old vines producing naturally low yields. Farming follows strict biodynamic principles, with spontaneous fermentations and minimal intervention throughout both vineyard and winery.
Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts before maturation in large seasoned oak casks. Bottling without fining or filtration ensures every bottle faithfully reflects both vineyard and vintage.
Magnum has always been the preferred format for long-term cellaring, and Atanasius is no exception. The slower evolution allows greater aromatic complexity while maintaining remarkable freshness over many years.
Cellared Says
If you're buying Gut Oggau to cellar, buy Magnum whenever you can. Not only does the wine evolve more slowly and gracefully, but it also turns a brilliant dinner wine into something genuinely memorable around the table. One of the smartest large-format buys in Europe.
Reviews
