Josephine 2023

Josephine 2023 is a natural wine crafted by Gut Oggau, in the Burgenland region in Austria. This red wine is made with Roesler grapes.

Josephine by Gut Oggau is a spicy, intense wine that comes from a beautiful 30 year old plantation which is planted with the rare Rösler Hybrid grape on a limestone soil.

What is the Rösler grape Gut Oggau use?

Rösler is a fungus- and frost-resistant new breed from the 1960s, which can be found almost exclusively in Burgenland. It produces fruity and tannic wines with a powerful colour, which can sometimes be quite concentrated in fruit, and often not tasting like many other Hybrid wines. A little more... normal perhaps in taste.

How is Gut Oggau 'Josephine' made?

The Rösler bunches are destemmed and fermented spontaneously in 500 L, 1000 L and 1500 L barrels. After 8 months of maturation in used 500 L barrels, this wine is bottled without batonnage, additional sulphur, unembellished and unfiltered.
