Schloss Gobelsburg Riesling Gaisberg 2022

The Gaisberg vineyard sits on weathered mica-schist and is often called the “little sister” of Heiligenstein, though its personality is more floral and ethereal. Aromas of jasmine, apricot blossom, and citrus peel precede a palate that feels lifted and filigreed, marked by shimmering acidity and saline finesse. A wine of quiet energy and long ageing potential.

Founded in 1171, Schloss Gobelsburg’s winemaking heritage began when Cistercian monks from Zwettl were granted vineyards on the Heiligenstein and Gaisberg hills—sites still central to the estate today. After centuries of monastic stewardship, production moved permanently to Gobelsburg in 1786, where the castle became the heart of the winery.

Since 1996, Michael and Eva Moosbrugger, together with Willi and Edwige Bründlmayer, have continued this legacy, combining tradition with refined precision. With vineyards spanning diverse soils and microclimates, Schloss Gobelsburg remains one of Austria’s oldest and most respected estates—its roots in ecological, monk-inspired viticulture still shaping its philosophy today.
