Staff Pick Notes

Berhard Ott is a 4th generation winemaker who took over his family winery in 1993. Since then he's converted vineyard management to biodynamics. He may be Wagram's king of compost. He presses his Gruner with whole clusters, giving the wine more texture. The Am Berg is his impressive entry Gruner. It shows layers of aromas and flavors.

An ideal pairing for pan fried fish like skate.
