2019 Schloss Gobelsburg Ried Steinsetz Gruner Veltliner Kamptal DAC, Austria
$32.99 USD
STEINSETZ - Ried (single vineyard, cru) Steinsetz is situated south of the
castle just outside of the village Gobelsburg and is marked by
sedimentation material of Danube and Traisen. Depending on the size of
the flow smaller or larger pebbles –mostly quartzite –were deposited. The
sediments are covered by loess of 10 to 50 cm.
Description: It opens clear, bright and fresh on the nose, where ripe apple
aromas intermix with delicate smoky aromas. Medium-bodied,piquant and
fresh, this is a pretty intense, elegant and well-structured Grüner Veltliner
with nicely bitter flavors on the finish. The wine reveals ripe and juicy fruit
that reminds me of yellow-fleshed tropical fruits and melons. The finish is
fresh,crisp and really stimulating on the palate.
SCHLOSS GOBELSBURG, a Cistercian monastic estate, is one of the oldest
wineries in the Austrian Danube area with a documented history that dates
back to 1171. All the vineyards are located on slopes and terraces around
the valley of the river Kamp near the town of Langenlois and the village of
Gobelsburg. Schloss Gobelsburg specialises in Grüner Veltliner and
Riesling and produces authentic and noble wines from different single
vineyard, village and regional appellations. The winery is member of the
association 'Österreichische Traditionsweingüter', which is working on a
vineyard classification project for the Danube area.
