WINE DESCRIPTION

Schloss Gobelsburg, one of Austria's oldest wineries, is revered for producing wines of great purity and expression. The Ried Gaisberg 1 ÖTW, from the classified Gaisberg vineyard, is a quintessential expression of the Kamptal region's terroir. The '1 ÖTW' classification signifies a wine of the highest vineyard quality, akin to 'Grand Cru'. This particular wine is made from Grüner Veltliner, Austria's signature grape, and reflects the winery's philosophy of minimal intervention. The vineyard's terraced slopes, composed of mica schist and weathered primary rock, provide a minerally complexity to the wine, which is enhanced by the meticulous viticulture and precise winemaking practices of the estate.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Schloss Gobelsburg Ried Gaisberg 1 ÖTW Grüner Veltliner is a wine of exquisite structure and finesse.It greets the senses with a vibrant, crystalline clarity and an aromatic profile that combines ripe pear, white pepper, and a hint of citrus zest. The palate is a masterclass in texture and balance, with a steely minerality piercing through layers of stone fruit and a subtle creaminess from lees aging. The hallmark peppery spice of Grüner Veltliner is elegantly integrated, leading to a long, precise finish. This is a wine that eloquently captures the essence of the Gaisberg terroir, offering a harmonious interplay between fruit, mineral, and spice.
