White peach and sugar-snap pea on the nose, lifted by a cool mintiness and a faint saline spray that gives the whole thing an almost coastal freshness. On the palate, the fruit is generous and polished through the mid-section before a long, savory finish takes over, shrimp-shell brine, marrow, and a dark, ore-like mineral depth that sets this apart from simpler Wagram bottlings. Sourced as always from 20- to 40-year-old vines across Ott's three premier sites, the Der Ott cuvée channels that old-vine concentration into something genuinely compelling, structured enough to age, expressive enough to enjoy now.
