Domaene Schloss Gobelsburg Rosé

Tasting Notes from the Curator

Domaene Schloss Gobelsburg Rosé unfolds as an intricate tapestry of taste. Upon first approach, one is greeted by the unbridled essence of wild cherry and a summer’s parade of fresh berries, including the signature caress of strawberry. Brushstrokes of tart rhubarb juxtapose the zest of lemon, while whispers of lemon balm and cool mint conjure an herbal sanctuary. The palate reveals a lively repertoire - the crispness of sliced apples waltzes with the tang of grapefruit, both united and contrasted by the soft sweetness of plum flesh and raspberry’s tart flourish. Imbued with the earthiness of smoky tobacco and the candied nuance of pink grapefruit, the flavors culminate in nautical layers. Finally, the texture - a voyage in itself - commences with a round, full mouthfeel that meanders through a fine, phenolic grip and concludes with the slight creaminess of a mildly stimulating bitter-citrus finish. Within this orchestra of sensations, lies the unique fingerprint of Kamptal, a true sense of terroir that renders the Domaene Schloss Gobelsburg Rosé not just a drink, but an experience.
