Vineyard & Winemaking

The Ried Gaisberg Vineyard, shared between Kamptal and Zöbing, is one of Austria’s most celebrated Riesling sites.
Steep terraces of mica-schist and gneiss create wines of power, purity, and age-worthy tension.

At Schloss Gobelsburg, centuries of monastic winemaking tradition meet modern precision:

• Hand-harvested fruit from organically farmed old vines

• Whole-bunch pressing for delicacy and definition

• Fermentation in large neutral oak casks to preserve texture and terroir

• Extended lees aging for harmony and longevity

The result is a Riesling that balances vibrancy, structure, and mineral poise — a true expression of both vineyard and vintage.
