Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Based on 2010 Renner Grner Veltliner, with a 5% part of Gaisberg Riesling, the intensely yellow-colored NV Tradition Heritage Cuve 10 Years Edition 850 offers a deep, pure, intense, concentrated, beautifully aromatic, spicy-floral and Traminer-like bouquet of white and yellow stone fruits, yellow rose petals as well as cloves, wax and refreshing flinty aromas. Rich, intense and highly elegant on the beautifully balanced and aromatic palate, this is a pure, vital, finessed and salty-mineral as well as tensioned and sustainable cuve with a young, still tannic texture and remarkable oak and nougat flavors. This finely tannic 10 Years cuve seems to be much younger and bottled from smaller barrels than the “3 years edition” sibling. There is no wine on this planet that is similar in style. The fruit is Austrian, very charming and irresistible, but the structure and texture builds the bridge to Franceor more precisely Alsace and Burgundy, regions that Michael Moosbrugger adores but never would try to copy. Tasted at the domain in June and again at home in July and August 2021.

• Andreas Larsson: Bright light golden colour. Pure and complex nose blending ripe stone fruit with fresh butter, some grapey and citrus notes, fine oak underneath with some almond and pastry, feels mainly grner. Very warm and embracing palate with good concentration and purity, an abundance if spicy yellow fruit and some nutty flavours with a very long and opulent finish, yet freshness is maintained all the way.

Producer Information

Schloss Gobelsburg is a highly regarded wine estate and historic property in the Kamptal region of Austria. It is one of the oldest wine estates of the country, particularly known for its wines from the Grner Veltiner and Riesling grape varieties. Wine production at the site dates back to 1171. The monks of the Zwettl monastery managed the vineyards until 1995, when the business was taken over by Michael Moosbrugger, with the guidance of Willi Brndlmayer. The Gobelsburg castle itself was first documented in 1178 as a fortified property with adjoining church. It evolved into a more residential-focused property in the 16th Century and was completely rebuilt in 1725. Schloss Gobelsburg has 35 hectares (87 acres) of vineyards in various sites near the castle. These include the famous Erste Lage sites Heiligenstein and Gaisberg for Riesling, and Lamm, Steinsetz, Grub and Renner for Grner Veltliner. These vineyards make the estate’s range-topping, single-vineyard wines. Grner Veltliner represents half of Gobelsburg’s total plantings, with Riesling accounting for one quarter. Zweigelt, Sankt-Laurent, Blauburgunder (Pinot Noir) and Merlot are also planted in the vineyards. In the cellar, large maturation barrels are placed on wheels so wine can be moved around without needing to be pumped. In the pursuit of regional authenticity, oak for the barrels is sourced from Manhartsberg, north of Langenlois, rather than the normal French or American sources.
