In 1996AD Eva and Michael Moosbrugger took over the management together with Willy Bruendlmayer to continue the tradition. Two of the best and most innovative winemakers in Austria guarantee the quality and preservation of the heritage of this great estate. Very terroir driven wines made to excellence in one of the most advanced cellars in Europe.
Schloss Gobelsburg Sekt Brut Reserve
A blend of Pinot Noir, Riesling and Grüner Veltiner
from a variety of vineyard sites. Spends 2 –3 years on lees before
disgorging. 90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: “Medium green-yellow. Very fine
mousse. Discreet aromas of soft stone fruits, roasted nuts and yeasty
nuances. Concentrated and refreshing, with a pleasant flavour of yellow
apple. A very elegant, dry sparkling wine with a long, complex finish.
Drink now to 2012. The current cuvee is ‘01-‘02, disgorged March ‘06
(that’s a lot of time on the lees); it’s 15% Pinot Noir, 15% Riesling and
70% GrüVe - the latter two derive from pre-harvests from Grand Crus like
Lamm and Gaisberg(!); this is saltier than last year’s blend, but just as
silky, classy and Veltliner-y, and it may be even better when it recovers
from disgorgement (which acts like a concussion on a
wine)”
Riesling Urgestein From the Langenlois and Gobelsburg vineyard sites. This is the lightest of the Rieslings this producer makes
Riesling Tradition
Riesling
Gaisberg
Very exotic fruit, mango and sweet lime, touch of pineapple. Impressive structure and body, with enormous ageing potential.
Grüner Veltliner Steinsetz Black pepper to start, touch of white asparagus and rhubarb. Very open, full and original, almost dark fruit, very clear and linear
Gobelsburger Grüner Veltliner
Lossterrassen
Loess terraces are the classical image of the Kamptal. Loess is a soil structure, which was built up in the last hundred thousand years. Winds brought the tiny particles from the alpine areas to the region, which makes up the high content of chalk in the soil. Intense and assertive, lime-tree blossom and rhubarb, fine notes, light to medium bodied, gripping flavour, pure Veltliner. Hints of black pepper become apparent in the back palate.
Grüner Veltliner Lamm
Gobelsburger Rose Cistercien Made from a blend of Zweigelt and St Laurent. This is a light, fresh style with vibrant cherry bouquet and a delicate, crisp palate.
Riesling Auslese (375ml)
Grüner Veltliner Eiswein (375ml)
