2024 Bernhard Ott "Fass 4" Grüner Veltliner, Wagram, AustriaABOUT THIS WINE Fass 4 is a phenomenal introduction to the estate wines of Bernhard Ott. Named for the fass (barrel) that was selected every year by a customer of Bernhards father, this is meant to be a consistent, benchmark wine for the domain. Grapes are basket pressed then fermented and aged in large Stockinger oak. Harvest is done 100% by hand, something that is very important to note in a region whose rolling hills and flatter landscape allow for
