Stephanie and Eduard have recently expanded their fields and started experimenting with the new harvests. The result at the end was, however, much less disastrous: They created a so-called “family reunion”, high-quality white and red cuvée from the different vineyards.Īnd then there are the Maskerades… Also both a big natural white, rosé, and red wine hiding behind masks. The estate is today run by Eduard Tscheppe son of a winemaker and his wife Stephanie Tscheppe-Eselbck daughter of a 2 Michelin stars Austrian restaurant owner who took over the estate several years ago. Hail and frost destroyed a huge amount of grapes. Gut Oggau is a 13 hectares Austrian wine estate located in the province of Burgenland by the Lake Neusiedl.

The latter grows on single vineyards and stems from some 60-year-old vines.
