Schloss Gobelsburg
Kamptal Riesling
Kamptal, Niederösterreich, Austria
The nose is made of lemon peel, lemon juice, some chalk and some nice white flower notes. You cannot mistake this for any other varietal. The palate is extremely well made and shows a superlative acid backbone, some lemon and yuzu notes all along, and electrifying mouthfeel, some width, and a very long, fresh, slightly bitter (as in lemon peel) finish that goes on for a very long time. Right up my alley! We had it along breams we roasted in the oven, and it was a delight of a pairing. Austrian Riesling and bream, who would have thought of it?
