KAMPTAL DAC GRÜNER VELTLINER
The classical expression of Austrian culture of wine – a perfect food companion for every day paired with an easy drinkability.
In order to be a representative of the whole Danube appellation KAMPTAL, vineyards and grapes from the lower part of the valley, as well as grapes from the upper and higher altitude part of valley are used. The grapes from the lower part bring the maturity, whereas grapes from the upper part of the valley brings us the freshness in this wine. The ‘classical’ KAMPTAL wine is low in Alcohol (11,5 – 12,5%) and has a pleasant but not obtrusive aroma and fruit character and therefore is a perfect food companion.

A LA CARTE 2017: Rating 91
Light yellow, intensively mineralic and tasty smell of stone fruits, apricot, decent spice, stong wine, good flow, friuty and spicy finish
WINE ADVOCATE/Robert Parker: Rating 86
The 2015 Grüner Veltliner Domäne Gobelsburg is more compact, racy and piquant compared to the corresponding Schlosskellerei GV; it comes along as a coolish and zesty flavored, pretty powerful and well-structured Kamptal Gruner with a nice minerality in the finish.
WINE KILLER/Luca Gardini: Rating 92
Attacks the nose with mentholated and even spicy sensations. In the mouth, the leitmotif remains the same: celery, white pepper, anise, and hints of citrus, such as lime and the tropical, such as passion fruit. On the finish, some of the breadth is sacrificed in favor of length.

VINOUS/David Schildknecht: Rating 87
Juicy fresh apple and honeydew are accented with smoky suggestions of struck flint and Szechuan peppercorn in a brisk bottling that finishes with stimulating tartness and pip-like piquancy. This isn’t especially lightweight by vintage standards, and sports a bit of oiliness on top of an otherwise firm feel.
FALSTAFF: Rating 89
VINTAGE 2013
VIKTOR SIEGL:
Delicate chestnut and burnt almonds on the nose, straightforward style, flowery notes; slender, but persistent, beautiful contours, some white bread and orange zest, may be enjoyed as a summer wine thanks to its fruity charm.
FALSTAFF: Rating 88
VINARIA: 2 Stars
VINTAGE 2012
VIKTOR SIEGL:
A stone fruit character with summer meadow nuances in the background; also some herbs and spices. Lean but cleverly expressive and a generous stock of acidity. For drinking young.
PARKER: Rating 87
The 2012 Gruner Veltliner Domaene Gobelsburg is labeled for the State of Niederosterreich (Lower Austria) rather than the Kamptal because this estate sits right on the dividing line with the Kremstal, and Moosbrugger utilizes a small share of fruit from the far side of that line for this bottling, which does not appear in the U.S. market that instead features his exclusively Kamptal “Gobelsburger” cuvee. Firmer and less infectiously juicy than that latter bottling, this is, nonetheless, lovely and varietal-typical in its lentil and green bean flavors; satiny in texture; and nicely integrates faintly bitter elements in its satisfyingly sustained finish. Plan to enjoy it over the coming year.

VINTAGE 2008
JANE McQUITTY in THE TIMES 14th Nov (London):
Hard to think of a wine-producing country whose spicy, steely new-wave young white wines are better suited to festive food than a decent white pepper and lemon peel-charged grüner veltliner like this one. Gobelsburg is the oldest winery in the Danube region, dating back to 1171 and renowned for its restrained, minerally grüners from some of the oldest vineyards in and around Langenlois.
ANTHONY ROSE in THE INDEPENDENT 14th Nov (London):
This Lower Austrian estate is a renowned producer of grüner veltliner, Austria’s favourite white wine. Here its reputation is confirmed with a refreshing spritz and the typical pepper and celery characters of the variety. A no-brainer at this price.
VIKTOR SIEGL:
Smoky, fresh and deeply accentuated, vivid rhubarb and sweet pea notes on the nose; spicy, lightly herbaceous palate, surprisingly full-bodied and open, charmingly intertwined flavours. A perfect ‘Donau Veltliner’ with every sip – crisp and harmonious.
