Schloss Gobelsburg
Reserve Heiligenstein Erste Lage Riesling
Terrific energy, hint of sweetness, ripe peach and nectarine, crushed stone, evolving into earthy hints of mushroom. Excellent Riesling.

Sep 30th, 2018Round, rich, slightly sweet. Ripe pair, green melon, golden apples, green tea, hint of vegetal character, really nice soft chalky minerality. Finishes juicy with a dry quality at the same time. Delicious.

Jan 23rd, 2016Gruner life continues. This time, a tense, nervy bombshell, tightly wound around a dense core of bruleed grapefruit, white and green peppercorn, meringue, green tea, grass, and honey-lemon Ricola. (Not product placement) The palate shows the tightness, but this is like a sleeping giant; I'd think the intensity should unravel in a few years. Love me some Gobelsburg.

Sep 24th, 2015A bit too ripe in the palate. Still nice once it went with some rich and delicious food.

Jul 12th, 2014Surprising amount of tropical fruit aromas. Really quite delicious and not too young with some time in the glass. Wonderful depth and mouthfeel and excellent excellent crispy acid. Hint of off dry. Really a very nice wine.
Note: this is actually Gruner, not Riesling.
