GUT OGGAU

Eduard Tscheppe & Stephanie Tscheppe-Eselböck have been pushing the boundaries of natural wine in Austria since 2007, crafting authentic & bold wines that embody their innovative spirit. Their creations are more than just wines; they offer a storytelling journey through a fictional three-generation family, representing the different plots of land. The natural variations of the terroir bring out the individual character traits. The relationship between each “family member” – sometimes loving, other times disruptive, is relayed in soap opera-esque detail on the wines’ back labels.

Eduard draws from the Tscheppe’s deep roots in winemaking, while Stephanie’s expertise was honed at Taubenkobel, a multi-awarded gastronomic restaurant founded by the acclaimed Eselböck family. Through their unwavering commitment to biodynamic principles & innovative vineyard practices, the duo continues to redefine Austrian winemaking. Their wines exemplify the potential of natural wine production in today’s era, while also reflecting the unique terroir of Oggau – a historic village nestled in Burgenland (Austria) with a winemaking tradition dating back to Roman times.

Gut Oggau serves as a testament to the couple’s philosophy: crafting wines that not only delight the palate but also encapsulate the rich traditions, innovative spirit, and vibrant essence of Burgenland’s viticulture.

“Each one is related to one another because they breathe the same air, they are born in the same region, they are raised in the same house”, says Stephanie. “Only nature makes a difference in their personality regarding experience, character, and so on.”

“The faces and their age do not represent the actual vineyard age, but the personality the wine represents. Those wines that are the juiciest & most cheerful ones to drink, stand for the young generation. The adults are more distinctively developed characters, sharper and more challenging!”
