DescriptionThe Schloss Gobelsburg TRADITION wines lead us back to a historic age of wine production. As an estate with a history going back more than 850 years our concern is not only todays methods of winemaking, but also to explore styles of the past. The wines of past eras experienced not only other production conditions & methods, but also a different set of expectations. Looking at the history of wine making one finds out, that wine was always an image of its present moment in time and has evolved according to trends, ideas and values. The TRADITION wines are botteled in different categories: The TRADITION heritage 3 years shows us the classic style of wine perception in the 19th century. A minimum maturation of three years was mandatory in these imperial ages. But there were also wines undergoing a considerably longer maturation, meant to be cherished in special moments and festivities.The 2021 Ried Renner 1ÖTW is pure, fine and mineral on the nose that also displays a ripe, yellow stone fruit aroma as if this Grüner Veltliner had been kissed by Riesling. Very elegant and refined on the palate, this is a lush, intense, slightly creamy-textured Renner Veltliner with substance, intensity and fine tannin grip. It has very good and aromatic length. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at Schloss Grafenegg, September 2023. . Wine Advocate 93 (2021)
