TROCKENBEERENAUSLESE RIESLING
Sweet wine is one of the estate’s specialities. Because of the Danube region’s dry continental climate, large quantities of grapes infected with noble rot (Botrytis) is a rare occurrence indeed.
But when there is Botrytis in sufficient quantities, we select the infected berries and bunches from the vineyards very carefully, and then separate the grapes in a second selection process for Auslese, Beerenauslese or Trockenbeerenauslese wines.

Picked-out over multiple sites and weeks, the Gobelsburg 2012 Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese offers a penetrating and alluring nose of quince and mirabelle preserves, maraschino and marzipan, along with high-toned distilled fruit notes and pure secretion of botrytis, all of which anticipate an at once confectionary and bright, creamy and juicy palate impression somewhat akin to biting into some liqueur- and honey-filled candy. Lemony notes manage to help check the sweetness here as well as to enliven the overall impression, without coming off as at all awkwardly detached. Pure, ringing and complexly layered, this finishes with glorious persistence and should turn heads through at least 2030.
VIKTOR SIEGL:
Cask sample: Pine and resin, extremely concentrated, a bit of stewed apricots and muskmelon. Smooth oily texture; exceedingly complex with an array of fruit nuances from lychee to cumquat to peach punch. Rich and multi-faceted with a vibrant, invigorating fruit play. Plenty of meat and length. Requires a bit of patience.
