Schloss Gobelsburg, established in 1171, is one of Austria's oldest wineries, renowned for its commitment to traditional winemaking and expression of terroir. The 'Ried Lamm' vineyard, located on the southeast slope of the Heiligenstein, is distinguished by its unique soil composition and favorable microclimate, producing wines of exceptional depth and elegance.
- WINEMAKER: Michael Moosbrugger
- FARMING: Sustainable practices with a focus on minimal intervention
- VARIETY: 100% Grüner Veltliner
- TERROIR: The 'Ried Lamm' vineyard features erosion material from the Heiligenstein (Permian red siltstone) with a high proportion of clay, situated on a southeast-facing slope that benefits from optimal sun exposure.
- VINIFICATION: Fermentation and maturation occur in 2,500-liter Manhartsberg oak casks, aligning the wood's character with the region's climate and the vineyard's terroir.
- AGING: Aged on fine lees to enhance texture and complexity.
- TASTING NOTES: The 2020 vintage presents an intense and elegant bouquet of ripe, concentrated fruits intermingled with spicy, iodine notes of crystalline rocks. On the palate, it is dense and very elegant, with fine, crystalline acidity and a long, graceful finish. This vintage exhibits more flesh and texture than previous years, offering suppleness and power, making it a wine to age.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Complements rich seafood dishes, roasted poultry, and Austrian cuisine such as Wiener Schnitzel.
