Domaene Gobelsburger Gruner Veltliner Kamptal 2024

Domæne Gobelsburger Grüner Veltliner Kamptal 2024 is an incredibly refreshing, crisp, and textbook Austrian white wine crafted by the historic Schloss Gobelsburg estate. Sourced from younger vines across the terraced, hillside vineyards of the Kamptal region, it beautifully encapsulates the pure, vibrant spirit of the Danube region. It pours a clear pale-gold with shimmering silver-green highlights. The nose is highly aromatic and welcoming, bursting with clean scents of fresh green apple, ripe orchard pear, citrus peel, and chopped garden herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, remarkably focused, and mouthwateringly juicy. A pure core of grapefruit, papaya, and crisp tree fruit is perfectly balanced by a snappy, energetic acidity and a strong undercurrent of stony mineral tension. Vinified and aged entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve its pristine varietal characteristics, it culminates in a long, refreshing finish marked by a classic touch of white pepper spice and a clean salinity.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with traditional Wiener Schnitzel, fresh seafood salad, grilled asparagus, aromatic Thai green curry, and mild artisanal goat cheeses.

Grapefruit, pineapple and chopped herbs on the nose of this lightly herbal white. It’s medium-bodied with zesty citrus character and a lively finish. Drink now. Screw cap.
