On the palate, there's a lot of tension, gentle acidity, and a very long finish.

The grapes for Grüner Veltliner Fass 4 come from small plots, including the iconic Rosenberg vineyard, which are vinified separately. It is truly a 'next level' Grüner Veltliner. The wine has undergone its entire fermentation and maturation in stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBernhard Ott says of himself: 'Ich bin ein Veltliner' and is a household name in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/oostenrijk\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eAustria\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e: he is even called Mister Veltliner. This is due to his considerable stature but even more so to the quality of his Grüner Veltliners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winery is located in Niederösterreich in the Wagram region, almost adjacent to Kamptal, and was founded in 1889. From the village of Feuersbrunn, which lies in the plain of the old Danube river basin, the 'Kellergasse' winds up into the vineyards. The vineyards are therefore all close to the estate, mostly in Wagram and a small part in Kamptal, and are located at an altitude between 200 and 350 meters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe soil consists mainly of wind-blown loess, varying in depth from 1 to as much as 20 meters and often mixed with gravel. Bernhard has been at the helm since 1993: he was 21 at the time but was given the trust by his parents to make the wines independently, and they have not regretted it! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wines are very pure and precise, and over the past 15 years, they have become increasingly refined and subtle. Since 2006, they have been working biodynamically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\/Distinctions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFalstaff – vintage 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated 93 points by Peter Moser in 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e2.
