Schloss Gobelsburg Grub Kamptal Reserve 2018

Wine Region: Niederosterreich, Austria

Grape: Gruner Veltliner

Tasting Notes

The protected vat (Grub, Grube = pit) produces a powerful wine with an intense and complex aroma of blood orange, exotic fruit such as mango and pineapple and a hint of caramel, saffron and nutmeg. Full and opulent on the palate, supported by a perfectly integrated acidity. Its pronounced taste and the characterful mineral astringency resonate for a long time with a hint of forest honey.

Ratings

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 91 pts - From the basin between Heiligenstein and Gaisberg this wine displays fresh and subtle aromas of ripe peach, citrus, loess, iron and legumes. On the palate there is an impressive mix of ripe and intense fruit, a stimulating transparency and piquancy and a salinity that goes through until the long and persistent, mineral finish.
