Unveil the essence of Austrian elegance with Domaene Schloss Gobelsburg Blanc de Blancs Brut N.V., a sparkling wine that encapsulates centuries-old traditions enriched by modern innovation. Crafted in the historic Kamptal region, this wine is a testament to the intricate dance between heritage and creativity. It is designed for those who revel in the complexity and sophistication of fine sparkling wines, offering a taste that is as timeless as it is captivating.
A Legacy Steeped in History
The storied vineyards of Domæne Gobelsburg boast a heritage dating back to 1171, when the Zwettl Monastery first began cultivating the fertile lands of Kamptal, Lower Austria. This estate is celebrated not just for its wines, but for its commitment to tradition and its ingenious blend of old-world craftsmanship with new-world techniques. Since 1996, under the guidance of the Moosbrugger family and Willi Bründlmayer, the estate has been at the forefront of sustainable viticulture.
The Heart of Kamptal
Nestled in the unique terroir of Kamptal, the vineyards benefit from mineral-rich, flinty soils that lend the wine its distinctive tautness and minerality. The cool climate with its diurnal temperature shifts allows for slow ripening, resulting in expressive aromas and a vibrant palate.
The Art of Blanc de Blancs
This Brut sparkling wine is masterfully composed of three white grape varieties: Chardonnay, Welschriesling, and Grüner Veltliner. Each variety brings its own unique character, contributing to a harmonious blend that is both structured and fresh. Chardonnay provides the backbone with elegance and a classic sparkling wine profile, Welschriesling adds freshness and delicate fruit notes, while Grüner Veltliner imparts spice and a distinctive Austrian flair.
Precision in Winemaking
Every step of the vinification process is meticulously executed. Hand-picked grapes are gently pressed to retain maximum purity, and only the heart of the pressing is used for the first fermentation. The base wine is aged for six months in Austrian oak casks, enhancing its complexity with subtle smoky and nutty nuances.
Following the traditional méthode traditionnelle, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, allowing it to age gracefully for three years on the lees. This extended lees contact enriches the wine with a creamy texture and a depth of autolytic flavors reminiscent of brioche and toasted nuts.
Sensory Symphony
Pour a glass to reveal a light golden hue with fine persistent bubbles forming a delicate mousse. The bouquet is a vibrant medley of mirabelle plums, citrus zest, and floral notes, interwoven with hints of flint and smoky undertones. On the palate, expect a brisk acidity with a creamy mousse and layers unfolding into ripe orchard fruits and a profound mineral finish.
The Versatile Companion
Perfect as an aperitif or alongside refined cuisine, this wine pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, grilled vegetables, and even traditional Austrian dishes like Wiener Schnitzel.
Enduring Quality
With its high acidity and robust structure, Domaene Schloss Gobelsburg Blanc de Blancs Brut N.V. can further develop its complexity over the next few years, making it both a delightful present indulgence and a promising addition to any cellar.
