Gut Oggau is a biodynamic winery in Burgenland, Austria, founded in 2007 by Stephanie and Eduard Tscheppe. Working with old vines rooted in limestone and slate soils near Lake Neusiedl, they farm their vineyards as a living organism, guided by biodynamic principles and minimal intervention.
All wines are fermented spontaneously and bottled without fining or filtration, with little to no added sulphur. Each wine is given a name and illustrated portrait, conceived as part of an extended family that reflects both the personality of the vineyard and the stage of vine life from which it comes.
Stephanie and Eduard bought Gut Oggau with what they describe as youthful enthusiasm, a pinch of naivety, and a strong conviction. Choosing the challenging path of biodynamic farming, they sought to close cycles and to preserve and enhance the vitality of their vineyards. For them, natural wine offered a way to express their unique soils and sense of place with clarity and honesty.
Gut Oggau’s wines are energetic, textural, and expressive, balancing purity with depth, and have become emblematic of a new generation of natural winemaking—rooted in a desire to create something lasting, to be inspired, and to inspire others.
