Two whip-smart white blends—Theodora and Timotheus—to contemplate and celebrate.
Two whip-smart white blends—Theodora and Timotheus—to contemplate and celebrate.

White Field Blend | Gut Oggau winemakers Stephanie & Eduard Tscheppe are deeply adored by natural wine lovers the whole world over and deserve every last iota of praise & reverence they receive! The fabric of the wines hinges upon the existence of a fictional family, with every vineyard plot being characterized by one of its members. Theodora is the youngest member of the Gut Oggau fam, representing the most recently planted vines. This field blend of mostly Gruner Veltliner & Welschriesling is well-structured, but softer, lower acid, and more textural than previous vintages, floral & playful, like braiding yourself a dandelion crown. Taking a big fat bite of Fuji apple, walking barefoot through the grass, stumbling upon an abandoned herb garden. Mineral character is expressed through a compelling wet clay note which makes us think that maybe Theodora is becoming a potter! You go, Theodora! We support you in everything you do.

White Field Blend | Stephanie and Eduard Tscheppe from Gut Oggau are at the forefront of the natural wine movement in Austria (and the world!), known for their meticulous, vibes-driven and near-spiritual approach to biodynamic winemaking. Timotheus sits among the parents in the Gut Oggau family of wines, a wry, slightly bitter & intellectual white blend with an impressive stature and acerbic wit. Son of Mechthild and Bertholdi, brother to Joshuari and Emmeram, Timotheus is the proverbial rock of the family, a rebellious sophisticate who always preferred white over red anyways. Singular in its lean, mean & acid-driven structure, this wine is only a touch curmudgeonly, made from 40 year old vines and bottled without fining, filtration or added sulphur. Tangerine pith, white pepper and dried bouquet garni meet a lithe texture, powdered granite minerality and piercing, clairvoyant acid. Drink while doing the New York Times crossword after dinner and discussing the many virtues of Frantz Fanon.
