Unveiling the Legacy of Schloss Gobelsburg
Nestled in the heart of the Kamptal region of Lower Austria, Schloss Gobelsburg stands as a beacon of tradition and quality. Established in 1171, the winery boasts a rich history managed by monastic orders and families, prominently the Zwettl Monastery. Since 1996, Eva and Michael Moosbrugger have passionately steered the estate, earning accolades like the ‘Winemaker of the Year’ by Falstaff. Their philosophy marries heritage with innovation, emphasizing minimal technological intervention and maintaining a strong grasp on terroir expression through practices such as the “Dynamic Cellar Concept.”
A Closer Look at Ried Lamm – The 1er Cru Wonder
The Ried Lamm vineyard, classified as Erste Lage or 1er Cru, is appreciated for its supreme quality. Positioned in Kammern, this vineyard balances deep loess soils with loamy and calcareous layers, enriched by minerals from sandstone and silt erosions. The continental climate holds the secret to its excellence, nurturing the vines with warm days and cool nights that maintain acidity and aromatic complexity.
Delving into the Character of Grüner Veltliner
Grüner Veltliner, Austria’s signature grape, scintillates with versatility. From citrus and stone fruits to peppery and herbal nuances, the flavors it yields describe a wine that is both crisp and age-worthy. At Schloss Gobelsburg, the wines reflect an illustrious profile with vibrant fruit and pronounced minerality.
Masterful Winemaking Techniques
In the cellars of Schloss Gobelsburg, natural yeast takes precedence during fermentation, ensuring a pure varietal expression that large barrels or steel tanks subsequently preserve. The Moosbruggers have perfected the Dynamic Cellar Concept, where moving wines in barrels ensures their delicate aromas and textures are safeguarded.
Exceptional Tasting Experience
The Schloss Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm 1er Cru captivates with lavish aromatics, evoking notes of candied Mirabelle plums, mango, and orange zest. The palate reveals a symphony of pineapple, apple, and peach, rounded off with a refined, creamy finish. Every sip echoes the vineyard’s mineral-rich foundation, leaving a formidable and savory mineral finish.
Recognized Excellence
This wine is recognized internationally, frequently featured in wine publications for its depth, complexity, and aging potential. Critically acclaimed, it is a standout in Austian white wines and a tribute to Kamptal’s unique terroir.
Perfect Pairings and Additional Notes
The wine’s robust character pairs exceptionally well with Wiener Schnitzel, roasted poultry, and rich seafood dishes. Its complexity also complements vegetarian options like asparagus and artichokes, as well as cheese platters featuring soft-ripened and aged varieties.
Embrace this emblem of Austrian winecraft as a pinnacle of excellence that reflects a dedication to land and legacy. Whether savored now or cellared for further maturity, Schloss Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm 1er Cru will reward with an ever-evolving experience, echoing the historical and cultural richness of its origin.
