A big, powerful Grüner with quite sweet fruit. The fruit character suggests overripeness, although there is a nice bit of acidity that sustains the palate. Salty and hot, rather than mineral per se, this is an assertive wine that lacks Read more
A surprisingly simplistic wine from Schloss Gobelsburg. The winemaking is immaculate, and it’s balanced and refined. However the fruit character is just a bit neutral. Everything in this wine is rather “medium+”
Pretty ripe and broad, this is a Grüner with a good mix of the more vegetal, capsicum-like flavours, and some ripe apple too. It has a nice citrussy lift, so although the mid-palate is fat and buttery, it refreshes on Read more
Bright and citrussy, this concentrated but very elegant Riesling shows its terroir and the superior talent of the winemaking at Schloss Gobelsburg. The fruit tends towards ripe pear with hints of candied peel. The drive and energy are typical of Read more
