Ott points to the statistics that show how much less rain fell this far back from the Danube compared to the nearby Kamptal or Kremstal, and says his family's long-term conservative, organic vineyard practices allowed his vines to weather the extremes of mid-summer drought and subsequent deluge.In late August, he planted a fast-growing cover crop that served to soak up moisture for the remainder of the season.Selectivity at harvest was critical here, too, and Ott says he made at least two passes over each of his parcels, finishing only in the last days of November.The results bespeak this winemaker's intention to marry power and finesse.I make frequent reference below to the analyses of Ott's 2002s to help emphasize the uncanny way in which he achieves formidably rich, ripe flavors at modest potential alcohol and very low residual sugar levels.Readers owe it to themselves to make the effort to locate and taste Ott's collection, on which I have commented in its seven-wine entirety.(John Maxwell, Boulder, CO) Also recommended: 2002 Riesling Vom Roten Schotter.
