“Welcome Theodora, she is here to bring joy to our lives once
again. 2023 has made her grow mentally, though she is
seductive, sassy and supremely well-structured. As ever.
Spirited, independent and a little stubborn as we know her.
Just the way we want her, because life is all about being true
to yourself. Never backing down and holding your own against
the pressures of conformity. In a world full of compromise, we
need characters like her to inspire us to stand up for what we
believe in. With every sip of brilliant Theodora, she may
awaken a little of the rebel within you too. Let’s all be rebels
with a cause, the cause to make this world a better place.”

GROWING

• Soil: Gravel and limestone
• Age of vines: 40 years old
• Certified biodynamic by Demeter
• Vintage: Cool and humid spring, very hot and dry summer, interrupted by a cold and wet period at the beginning of August. Beautiful, warm, dry harvest season. A perfect match of cool and warm influences, crystal clear and brilliant.

WINEMAKING

• Field blend grapes (mostly Grüner Veltliner and Welschriesling) are hand-harvested and destemmed

• Rack once before bottling

WHAT’S GOOD?

• Wiltrude’s daughter (Whether she’s the daughter of Joschuari or Emmeram is debatable). Part of the “children” range of Gut Oggau, where the wines are vibrant and energetic with big personalities in their youth
• A bright, cheerful, and impudent wine. Bold but very likable
• A small amount of skin contact brings a lightly dusty mouthfeel
• A wine that feels balanced and composed, even at this early stage of its life
• Best served chilled (11-13℃)
