The 2015 Weingut Bernhard Ott Qvevri Grüner Veltliner is a distinctive Austrian white from the Wagram region, crafted using traditional Georgian clay amphorae (qvevri) with minimal intervention and spontaneous fermentation. This unique method gives the wine added texture, depth and a slightly oxidative, “orange wine” character. The nose is subtle and complex, showing yellow tropical fruit, citrus and floral notes, layered with hints of tobacco, herbs and minerality.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a silky yet structured texture, combining ripe fruit with savoury, herbal and gently honeyed nuances. A mineral, slightly saline edge leads to a long, textured and distinctive finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for adventurous drinkers or customers exploring natural and amphora-aged wines. It’s less about fruit and more about texture, savoury character and complexity. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Ideal with roasted vegetables, Mediterranean dishes or Asian cuisine.
