Before an abrupt change of career 20 years ago, Barbara Ohlzelt used to work in TV, Drama and Media. In this earlier life she met and became friends with Daniel Glattauer. Daniel is famous in Austria for having written a best-selling novel called ‘Gut Gegen Nordwind’ , an email-based love story, which has been translated into 26 different languages … which then became a play … which became a critically acclaimed film … which was translated into English as ‘The Space Between The Lines’.
 
Daniel has a small vineyard in neighbouring Wagram planted with Gruner Veltliner, Roter Veltliner, Pinot Blanc and Gruner Silvaner. It is from these grapes (predominantly the first two) that Barbara makes this beautiful, loosely Burgundian style of Gemischter Satz.
 A great starting point for your Barbara Őhlzelt journey.
Food match
Fresh, crushed peas with a suggestion of mint and some ricotta served on toast. Can’t see a nice herb stuffed wild Sea Bass being much of a problem here either!
