KAMPTALDAC RIESLING
The classical expression of Austrian culture of wine – a perfect food companion for every day paired with an easy drinkability.
In order to be a representative of the whole Danube appellation KAMPTAL, terraced vineyards and grapes from the lower part of the valley, as well as grapes from the upper and higher altitude part of valley are used. The grapes from the lower part bring the maturity, whereas grapes from the upper part of the valley brings us the freshness in this wine. The ‘classical’ KAMPTAL wine is low in Alcohol (11,5 – 12,5%) and has a pleasant but not obtrusive aroma and fruit character and therefore is a perfect food companion.

Striking nose of lime and green pepper, plus notes of apricot and honeycomb. Very attractive balance of ripeness and lively acidity that extends from the tip of your tongue to the end of the long, silky finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

WINE ADVOCATE/Robert Parker: Rating 86
Cool, zesty and stony on the nose, the 2015 Riesling Domaene Gobelsburg open with some smoky flavored white fruit and lemon aromas. It is a medium-bodied, pretty intense and round, yet tightly structured and crisp white wine, and has an attractive stone fruit flavor, pleasant sweetness and good grip in the finish.

Fresh lime and chewy apple skin lend refreshment and invigoration to this firm and refreshingly bright bottling, with a hint of mouthwatering salinity on its satisfyingly sustained finish.

VINTAGE 2012
PARKER: Rating 89
With an effect like chopping on clover, the 2012 Riesling Domaene Gobelsburg is simultaneously subtly green and floral, its crisp and juicy apple-y fruit picking up lime peel and apple pip piquancy in a bracing, zesty finish suffused with crushed stone. While not officially Kamptal wine due to the inclusion of some fruit from just across the line into the Kremstal, this typifies Kamptal Riesling virtues, which it should continue to showcase through at least 2015.
VIKTOR SIEGL:
Develops amazingly right from the beginning, presenting fine dark fruit tones. Firm and distinctive – lean yet meaty with smoky undertones. Already a nice flowing oily touch and some good length. Astonishing.
