Timotheus is the firstborn of the Gut Oggau family, Timotheus carries the weight of wisdom with depth, poise, and quiet power. A commanding blend of 50% Grüner Veltliner and 50% Weissburgunder from 40-year-old vines rooted in limestone, slate, and gravel soils, this wine is rich, aromatic, and deeply textural.
Crafted with patience and precision, the grapes are partially destemmed and undergo a gentle 7-week maceration. Fermentation is thoughtfully split: one-third in open wooden vats, the rest in 500-litre barrels without the skins. The wine then rests in oak for around 12 months before being bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without sulphites—preserving its raw integrity.
Timotheus is a natural white of substance and structure, offering layered complexity that unfolds slowly—stone fruit, herbs, crushed rock, and a subtle oxidative note that speaks to the house style. It is a reflection of the biodynamic principles championed by Eduard and Stephanie Tscheppe, who have transformed the historic Burgenland estate of Gut Oggau into a sanctuary for expressive, soulful wines.
