The Schloss Gobelsburg estate and Castle Gobelsburg were controlled by as many as 19 different families between 1074 and 1740. Two hundred years later Eva and Michael Moosbrugger were granted the winemaking and vinicultural contract in 1996, and with the help and guidance of Michael’s mentor, Willi Bründlmayer, the winery regained its prestige and is considered to be a leader in quality and innovation. The winery continues to utilize organic winegrowing and has benefited from the fact that the monks of Zwettl Monastery began these practices as early as 1958!
Moosbrugger is convinced that the future Gobelsburg lies in individuality and character. As a high level of technology is necessary to warrant uniformity, Moosbrugger believes that individuality can only be achieved through the reduction of machines. Moosbrugger developed the ‘Dynamic Cellar Concept’ for Gobelsburg in which wines are no longer pumped from one location to the other but instead transported in ‘barrels on wheels’ from one section of the cellar to the other.
From multiple cooler vineyards in the Kamptal region, fermented and aged in stainless steel. Wild cherry and fresh berry with bright and cutting acidity and fine, chalky minerals.
