From a small 3.5 hectare vineyard comes this stunning Grüner Veltliner by one of Austria’s top producers, Schloss Gobelsberg. From Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate to Decanter’s Austria 2017 Guide, this wine has consistently stood out for its exuberant style, bold fruit and wonderful concentration. Refreshing acidity and mineral finish ties it all together – seamless.
 2014 Schloss Gobelsburg, Grüner Veltliner, Ried Steinsetz, Kamptal ReserveWine making at this eminent estate spans nearly 900 years, to 1171 when Cistercian monks at the Zwettl monestry were granted their first vineyards. After centuries at the helm, the Zwettl monks handed responsibility over to Michael and Eva Mossbrugger, who have continued to build on the domaine’s rich history and venerable reputation. Best enjoyed with food – ideal with any meaty white fish (pan fried with a lemon, parsley and butter sauce) or lemon and thyme roast chicken. Superb with a mixed plate of vegetable crudités and dips. 91 Points: Stephen Brook, Decanter Magazine 91 Points: Wine Spectator 90 Points: Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (2012 Vintage) £19.00 per bottle Like more from Schloss Gobelsburg?
