Accolades

ÖGZ ROSÈ TASTING: Winner

Raspberries and citrus zest are accompanied by a flourish of buttery crumbs. In the mouth it develops a lot of pressure: pink grapefruit, lemon balm and a finish in which tannins flare up in the beautiful, salmon-pink glass. “By the way, it also goes well with fish!”

dr Viktor Siegl, 05/20:

Green strawberries and mint in a distinctive bouquet, cool touch, animating; polished like refreshing, red berry fruit game, racy aperitif.

Producer

Cistercian monks, who spread throughout Europe from Burgundy in the 12th century, acquired their first vineyards in 1171, and have had a lasting impact on viticulture in Austria over the past 850 years. Schloss Gobelsburg has been operated by the Moosbrugger family—Eva and Michael—since 1996.

Over the centuries, monks have planted and cultivated vineyards in the very best sites in Austria. Today, Schloss Gobelsburg focuses on the Danube appellations’ regionally typical wines of protected origin, in the 3 categories Gebietswein (regional wine), Ortswein (village wine), and Riedenwein (from individual vineyards). The estate’s vineyards include parcels in world-famous sites such as Ried HEILIGENSTEIN or Ried LAMM.

Schloss Gobelsburg is a member of the winegrowers’ association Österreichische Traditionsweingüter, which is currently engaged in establishing a classification of Austria’s vineyards.
