Details
'Full of energy and direct' is how Eduard and Stephanie from Gut Oggau, and this lucid red is indeed a beautiful red. A blend of Zweigelt & Blaufränkisch, this is a taut, minerally, tangy and bittersweet red wine with sour cherry, raspberry and bitter herbs. It's juicy but also drying, with so many textural contrasts that it just feels like a fascinating ride from start to finish.

Gut Oggau is more than one of Austria's most celebrated natural wine stories; this is a winery with a great story full stop. Eduard and Stephanie Tscheppe are the names behind this incredibly distinctive label and they're like wine rockstars. Eduard brings a winemaking background to Styria, and Stephanie comes from the family that runs the famed Taubenkobel 2 Michelin-starred Burgenland restaurant. Together, they revitalised an abandoned 17th-century wine estate on the side of Lake Neusiedl, Austria and turned it into a biodynamically farmed hotspot. More than just delicious wines, these iconic drinks are like fashion statements (which is not surprising given that Stephanie has a whole fashion label on the side). Nearly always blends, the pair use classic Austrian grapes like Blaufränkish, Zweigelt, Grüner Veltliner, Welchriesling, Weissburgunder & Gewürztraminer to produce fascinating natural wines of delicacy and profound flavour. We're just happy to land a few bottles.

Pairing guide
Zweigelt wines are one of Austria’s great gifts to the world, and this beautifully bold and flavourful bottle from Gut Oggau is a real delight to the senses. We reckon it’s best paired with hearty meat dishes with a punchy sauce - steak with a red wine reduction, or lamb or venison with wild berries, for example - as well as with barbecued meats, slow-cooked lamb or beef stews, and roast root vegetables. If meat’s not your thing, you’ll get great results matching this wine with aubergine and mushroom dishes, or with smoky meat substitutes served with paprika potatoes and lentils.
