Josephine is one of the typically wild and wildly charismatic wines that punctuate the Gut Oggau range. The only 'female' red that the estate produces, they describe how Josephine is a 'free spirit, unable to be contained'. Oh yes, this is lively wine - a light to medium-bodied red made from Blaufränkisch and Roesler that only spends 8 months in barrel to preserve freshness. It's a berry-laden, spicy, frisky thing too, and proudly bottled with no additions of any kind.

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 Blaufränkisch, 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.
