Gobelsburg
Schloss Gobelsburg is one of the oldest wineries in the Danube region of Austria. Its documented history dates back to 1171. It predates the signing of the Magna Carta by almost fifty years. Centuries of experience in the vineyards that surround the Gobelsburg castle by the Cistercian monks has led to intimate knowledge of the soils and microclimates. The meticulous care and concern are reflected in the precision and excellence of the modern wines.
In 1996, the Cistercian Monks of the Zwettl Monastery passed the winemaking role on to Michael Moosbrugger. The estate’s history of more 800 years of vineyard management heavily influences his craft today. Moosbrugger, recognizing this important place in history, maintains the traditions and practices that keep the wines so vibrant and powerful.
The house style emphasizes the terroir while respecting the winemaking traditions of the monks. Instead of modern winemaking technology like pumps, they favor traditional tools such as the massive neutral oak casks used for aging.
Beyond their historical pedigree, this is a benchmark producer with an incredibly diverse portfolio. The style is complex and vivacious while still offering some of the best values in the wine world, particularly at the high end. Whether it’s the rich, sunbaked Riesling of the Heiligenstein plateau, the elegant Gruner from the Lamm, Grub, and Renner vineyards, or the uniquely traditional blends, these are wines that can stand toe to toe with any white wine in the world, but for a fraction of the price of their French peers.
These are simply in a class above and apart from all others, as striking in their elegance and complexity as they are in their ability to move both your mind and soul. And they can be yours now on our three-day sale.

Schlosskellerei Gobelsburg Cistercien Rosé, Kamptal 2024 750ml Displayed Price: $24, that’s $22.80 at 5% off and $21.60 at 10% off, 9 bottles in stock now
Billy Norris-Vinous 90 points “The 2024 Rosé Cistercien is a deeply mineral wine. Acids here are driving and persistent, cutting like a tornado across a cornfield. The intensely chalky, rocky minerality is the main attraction, as there’s not much fruit or aromatic expression to speak of. That said, I like this for its distinctiveness and particularly terroir-driven feel–something that is highly unique in the world of Rosé.”
Schlosskellerei Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner, Kamptal DAC 2024 750ml Displayed Price: $24, that’s $22.80 at 5% off and $21.60 at 10% off, 19 bottles in stock now
“The 2024 Schlosskellerei Gobelsburg Kamptal Grüner Veltliner opens with an intense and vinous bouquet of yellow seed fruits intermingled with saline notes of crushed rocks and green leaves. The wine is round and charming on the textural palate and more supple than the Domæne Veltiner. This is a medium-bodied Kamptal with quite intense and persistent fruit and tender minerality. Fine tannins and bitters make this an excellent, textured food wine. 12.5% stated alcohol.” – Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate
Schlosskellerei Gobelsburg Riesling, Kamptal DAC 2024 750ml Displayed Price: $26, that’s $24.70 at 5% off and $23.40 at 10% off, 20 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 90 points “The 2024 Schlosskellerei Gobelsburg Kamptal Riesling is coolish, precise and spicy on the terroir-driven nose. Unmistakably Kamptal Riesling, it has bright and juicy fruit, delicate spice and irresistible charm. On the palate, it is initially youthful and racy, then turns elegantly juicy, savory and delicately bitter, and it has textured length with fine, almost peppery tannins. This is an authentic, saline and classy Riesling for little money. 12.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in April 2025.”

Schloss Gobelsburg Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner, Kamptal DAC 2024 750ml Displayed Price: $31.90, that’s $30.31 at 5% off and $28.71 at 10% off, 9 bottles in stock now
Schloss Gobelsburg Ried Lamm Gruner Veltliner Erste OTW Lage 2020 750ml Displayed Price: $79, that’s $75.05 at 5% off and $71.10 at 10% off, 4 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 93+ points “The intensely yellow-colored 2020 Ried Lamm 1ÖTW opens with an intense and elegant, refined bouquet of ripe and concentrated fruits intermingled with spicy iodine notes of crystalline rocks. On the palate, this is a dense and very elegant Grüner Veltliner with fine and crystalline acidity and a long elegant finish. The Lamm has more flesh and texture than the Grub as well as more suppleness and power, but it’s also more saturating in 2020. Definitely a wine to age, though. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in September 2022.”
Schloss Gobelsburg Ried Lamm Gruner Veltliner Erste OTW Lage 2021 750ml Displayed Price: $94.50, that’s $89.78 at 5% off and $85.05 at 10% off, 4 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 93 points “Showing clear, elegant fruit of ripe, spicy pear with a fine terroir tone, the 2021 Ried Lamm 1ÖTW is a finely juicy, very elegant and full-bodied but not alcoholic Grüner Veltliner with delicate acidity and stimulating salinity. It is a stylistically confident, typical Kamptal cru from the foot of the Heiligenstein. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at Schloss Grafenegg, September 2023.”

Schloss Gobelsburg Heiligenstein Riesling Reserve Erste OTW Lage 2018 750ml Displayed Price: $59, that’s $56.05 at 5% off and $53.10 at 10% off, 3 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 93 points “Gobelsburg’s 2018 Ried Heiligenstein 1ÖTW opens with a very clear, bright, fresh and flinty, very elegant and almost coolish bouquet, like almost no other Heiligenstein of this vintage except for Bründlmayer’s selections. Round and elegant on the palate, this is a bright and refined, highly elegant and crystalline Heiligenstein with an intense, piquant and mineral finish. Tasted at Schloss Grafenegg and Schloss Gobelsburg in September 2019.”
Schloss Gobelsburg Heiligenstein Riesling Reserve Erste OTW Lage 2020 750ml Displayed Price: $69, that’s $65.55 at 5% off and $62.10 at 10% off, 21 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 96 points “Gobelsburg’s 2020 Ried Heiligenstein opens with a clear, bright and savory bouquet of sandstone, salt, ripe stone fruits and tea. Lush and round on the palate, this is a textured, very elegant and balanced Heiligenstein Riesling with a lingering, fine salinity on the highly elegant and aromatic finish. This is again an excellent, quiet and perfectly balanced Riesling from one of the greatest Riesling sites along the Danube River. The 2020 already drinks beautifully but can be aged for two or three decades.”

Schloss Gobelsburg Gaisberg Riesling Reserve Erste OTW Lage 2020 750ml Displayed Price: $49, that’s $46.55 at 5% off and $44.10 at 10% off, 10 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 93 points “The 2020 Ried Gaisberg offers a clear, precise and spicy apricot nose with spicy notes of black rock splinters. Lush and savory as well as saline on the palate, with crystalline acidity and almost tropical fruit (passion fruit), this is a very elegant and aromatic, tightly structured yet perfectly balanced and sustainable Gaisberg Riesling with stimulating purity and crystallinity.”
Schloss Gobelsburg Tradition Heritage Cuvee 3 Year Edition 851 750ml Displayed Price: $61.90, that’s $58.81 at 5% off and $55.71 at 10% off, 3 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 93 points “Based on Gaisberg Riesling and Renner Grüner Veltliner, the NV Tradition Heritage Cuvée 3 Years Edition 851 combines the vintages 2019 and 2017. Deep, intense and very elegant on the nose, with ripe but fine fruit aromas, this is a full-bodied, textured, very elegant and balanced white wine with lots of Veltliner features. The wine has ripe and elegant acidity but reveals fine and grippy tannins on the intensely aromatic finish. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork.”
Schloss Gobelsburg Tradition Heritage Cuvee 10 Year NV 750ml Displayed Price: $179, that’s $170.05 at 5% off and $161.10 at 10% off, 4 bottles in stock now
Stephan Reinhardt-Wine Advocate 98 points “Based on 2010 Renner Grüner Veltliner, with a 5% part of Gaisberg Riesling, the intensely yellow-colored NV Tradition Heritage Cuvée 10 Years Edition 850 offers a deep, pure, intense, concentrated, beautifully aromatic, spicy-floral and Traminer-like bouquet of white and yellow stone fruits, yellow rose petals as well as cloves, wax and refreshing flinty aromas. Rich, intense and highly elegant on the beautifully balanced and aromatic palate, this is a pure, vital, finessed and salty-mineral as well as tensioned and sustainable cuvée with a young, still tannic texture and remarkable oak and nougat flavors. This finely tannic 10 Years cuvée seems to be much younger and bottled from smaller barrels than the “3 years edition” sibling. There is no wine on this planet that is similar in style. The fruit is Austrian, very charming and irresistible, but the structure and texture builds the bridge to France—or more precisely Alsace and Burgundy, regions that Michael Moosbrugger adores but never would try to copy. Tasted at the domain in June and again at home in July and August 2021.”
