The Wine
When Eduard and Stephanie Tscheppe revived the long-abandoned Gut Oggau estate in 2007, they inherited vineyards that had remained untouched for decades. Rather than replant or modernise them, they embraced biodynamic farming, believing healthy soils and old vines would tell a far more compelling story than intervention in the winery. Today, Gut Oggau has become one of Europe's benchmark estates, admired as much for the quality of its wines as for its uncompromising farming philosophy.
Timotheus represents one of the "older generation" in the Gut Oggau family and is sourced from mature Grüner Veltliner and Weissburgunder vines planted on limestone and gravel soils around the village of Oggau, close to the western shores of Lake Neusiedl. The combination of warm Pannonian days, cool evening breezes and mineral-rich soils produces wines of both generosity and freshness.
The fruit is hand harvested before spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in large old oak casks. The wine spends close to a year on lees before bottling without fining or filtration, preserving texture and vineyard character rather than chasing polish.
Timotheus sits beautifully between richness and precision, offering more depth and structure than the younger wines in the range while retaining the vitality that has become synonymous with Gut Oggau.
Cellared Says
This is probably my favourite white in the Gut Oggau range. It has all the texture and complexity that natural wine lovers chase, but never at the expense of balance or drinkability. A wonderfully complete wine that comfortably sits alongside some of Austria's finest whites.
Reviews
"Powerful yet remarkably composed, offering layers of orchard fruit, spice and mineral complexity with superb length."
