Gobelsburg Tradition 10 Year Old

With a documented history dating back to 1171, when Cistercian monks acquired their first vineyards in Langenlois, Schloss Gobelsburg is one of the oldest wineries in Austria. Gobelsburg owes its reputation to those Cistercian monks whose devotion was embodied by the credo: ‘Qui bon vin boit dieu voit’ – ‘Whosoever drinks well sees God’. In 1996 the estate moved out of monastery hands, and is now managed by Michael and Eva Moosbrugger.

Schloss Gobelsburg produces some of the finest Rieslings and Grüner Veltliners in Austria: most famously from the stony terraces of Heiligenstein and Gaisberg for Riesling; and the more loess-concentrated sites of Steinsetz, Renner, Grub and Lamm for Grüner Veltliner. In addition to these terroir-driven, ageworthy, single-site whites, the estate produces a Brut Reserve, traditional-method sparkling wine, Pinot Noir and Sankt Laurent reds, as well as some haunting noble sweet wines. Also look out for the estate’s Tradition range: wines made using the traditional methods used in the 19th century that offer a true taste of Austria’s rich vinous history.
