WINE DESCRIPTION

Schloss Gobelsburg's Blanc de Blancs, a harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Welschriesling, and Grüner Veltliner, beautifully captures the Kamptal terroir in Lower Austria. These vineyards, enriched with Permian, gneiss, and loess soils, span picturesque Kamptal. This unique soil diversity imparts depth and complexity to the wine. Influences from the east bring warmth and maturity, while cooler, moister, oxygen-rich air masses from the Waldviertel in the north ensure freshness. Handpicked grapes are carefully chosen for their ripeness. Whole-cluster pressing preserves grape purity and finesse. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks to retain natural flavors and freshness. The wine then ages in 600-liter oak barrels, adding subtle structure and a gentle oak touch. Its unique character emerges during bottle fermentation, where it rests for up to three years, developing fine bubbles and remarkable depth. Hand-riddling and disgorging highlight clarity and elegance.
