Schloss Gobelsburg Langenlois Grüner Veltliner Kamptal DAC 2022

Winemaker: Michael Moosbrugger
"ONE OF AUSTRIA'S MOST ORIGINAL WINEMAKERS" By James Suckling

Schloss Gobelsburg’s history traces back to 1171, when the Cistercian monks of the Zwettle monastery acquired their first two vineyards (wines are still made from these single sites today). The castle and its vineyards were added in the eighteenth century, the main building soon after receiving its Baroque transformation on the instructions of one of its many illustrious owners.

As well as Austria’s earliest recorded vines, Schloss Gobelsburg can boast a dedication to organic farming that long precedes any modern trends, eschewing chemicals where possible and letting the land speak for itself. Its agriculture is now certified as sustainable, with as little mechanical reliance in the winery as possible.

Langenlois is the centre of the appelation Kamptal and is one of the historical and cultural centres of wine in Austria.

100% Grüner Veltliner
Village wine. A typical Kamptal, but showing a slightly warmer and expressive style of the appellation. Expressive and textural on the palate with nice white-pepper and yellow-apple character, a positive hint of bitterness underlying the fresh acidity.
