Description
The Ried Gaisberg Riesling ÖTW Erste Lage 2023 is one of the great Rieslings of the Kamptal and comes from one of Austria's most renowned vineyards. Ried Gaisberg, characterized by primary rock, gneiss, and mineral soils, imparts exceptional precision, depth, and tension to the wine. Schloss Gobelsburg cultivates this historic site with great care, creating wines that impressively reflect their origin and grape variety.
The 2023 vintage presents itself as taut, focused, and full of energy. The characteristic freshness of the Riesling combines with a distinctive minerality and impressive clarity. Instead of opulent fruit or aromatic loudness, the Ried Gaisberg focuses on elegance, structure, and expression of its origin. This combination of precision, depth, and mineral tension is precisely what makes it such a characterful representative of its site.
The winemaking process is deliberately restrained, allowing the unique characteristics of the terroir to take center stage without compromise. This results in a Riesling with exceptional finesse, a fine texture, and a long, mineral-driven finish. The Ried Gaisberg Riesling ÖTW Erste Lage 2023 embodies the classic strength of great Kamptal Rieslings and also possesses excellent aging potential for many years.
This is what to expect when drinking
Wines from the Gaisberg vineyard present themselves with a lighter straw yellow, with precise yet powerful stone fruit aromas on the nose.
On the palate, it reveals a juicy, intense, and very linear fruit expression, balanced by lively acidity.
Pure, with a delicate fruit sweetness, this accompanies classic fish dishes, as well as smoked and cured specialties or Californian and Euro-Asian fusion cuisine à la choucroute.
