2021 Schloss Gobelsburg Riesling Urgestein, Austria, Wine Review

Consumed at the winery. Made from younger vines in Gaisberg and Heiligenstein. Light yellow/hay/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is tight but with good minerality and light alfalfa notes. Medium bodied. Slightly viscous texture. Bolder on the palate with good acidity. Slight pineapple notes with minerality. Long finish. This is a nice value and drinking well now. A bit generic in profile but that's ok. It drinks well on its own and should be very food friendly. Fried zucchini strips would work very well. Drink over the next five to seven years.

A very different vintage from the generous 2019, this wine shows a lot of concentration and reflects the "premier cru" vineyard. Yellow/golden in color, clear and bright. The nose features spice, minerals but also a bit of tropical fruits/pineapple. Medium bodied. Slightly viscous in texture. On the palate, this is dry and tight, but unwinds in the glass. Lots of minerality, some pineapple, along with slight tannins. Long finish. This drinks well on its own but will work better with food. This would work well with a yellow curry dish. Hold for a few years and then drink over the n

From a "premier cru" vineyard that has the oldest vines used by Schloss Gobelsburg. Green/yellow/gold in color, clear and bright. The wine has some heft to it, even in thinner vintages. It is fuller, "meatier" than the Gaisberg vineyard. Lots of minerals and spice, and some floral notes. Medium to full bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, slight peach, but this is more about minerality and spice. Dry. Long finish. This is delicious now, but really needs a few years to flesh out.

Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has lemon-lime qualities with some minerality. On the palate, this opens quickly with bold flavors. Tart lemon candy and some underlying minerality. Good acidity. Longer finish. There is a nice vibrancy here. Drink over the next few years. It works great on its own but worked better with soft cheeses.

This is drinking well for a mature, dry Riesling. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose takes a moment then opens to show pineapple and minerals. On the palate, the pineapple carries thru along with a vegetarian tzimmes (a jewish dish that involves slow cooking root vegetables and fruits). This has a nice tartness that gives it plenty of energy. The finish is long but does have a slightly bitter note. All in all, this is enjoyable and while it improved over a couple of hours with air, I think it is getting ready to start a slow decline. Still, it should have at least five to se

This is made from various terraced vineyards and brought up in stainless steel tanks. Green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has minerals, slight floral notes and a slight pineapple quality. Nice texture. There does seem to be a bit of sweetness which is surprising although it certainly would not be considered a sweet or even semi-sweet wine. On the palate, there is a nice quince note with underlying minerality. It is delicious and ready to drink now but should last for another eight to ten years easily. It drinks well on its own and will work great with (not too spicy) Thai
