Vintage Character The 2024 Schloss Gobelsburg Ried Lamm Grüner Veltliner represents one of the most celebrated Erste Lage (1ÖTW) expressions in Austria's Kamptal region. A warm growing season punctuated by late-season cooler spells allowed for a balanced harvest, delivering exceptional aromatic purity and vibrant phenolic tension. Situated on the south-facing lower slopes of the Heiligenstein, the famed Ried Lamm vineyard combines loess and clay over Permian sandstone, creating an ideal microclimate for rich, deeply mineral whites.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The wine opens with alluring aromas of ripe yellow peach, crushed white pepper, and orange blossom, underscored by fine crushed-stone minerality. On the palate, a textural, creamy mouthfeel is energized by crisp, vibrant acidity, culminating in a long, savory finish with touches of ginger and dried herbs. It pairs magnificently with roasted turbot in brown butter, classic Austrian Wiener Schnitzel with potato-cucumber salad, or Cantonese ginger-scallion steamed sea bass.
Winery Background Established in 1171 by Cistercian monks from Zwettl Abbey, Schloss Gobelsburg is one of Austria's oldest and most prestigious wine estates, currently led by visionary vintner Michael Moosbrugger. The estate champions sustainable viticulture and minimalist cellar interventions, utilizing gentle pressing and slow maturation in traditional Manhartsberg oak casks on the fine lees.
