Gaisberg Riesling [Library Vintages] ['15~'16~'17~'18]
Gaisberg Riesling [Library Vintages] ['15~'16~'17~'18]
Many Kamptal aficionados see the Gaisberg as something of a ‘little brother’ to the famous Heiligenstein. However, this assessment does not do justice to the potential of the vineyard. Weathered mica schist covered with brown earth provides a nearly perfect soil for growing mineral-driven Rieslings. Situated near the village of Strass, the Gaisberg is the south-easternmost foothill of the Manhartsberg, still manifesting the crystalline material of the Bohemian Massif. The grapes for this wine are grown on terraces and come from vines that are some forty years of age.

"A wonderful, youthful nose of orange blossoms and bergamot with delicate baking spices and great leesy complexity. Then stunning concentration and elegance on the precisely contoured, medium-bodied palate. Superlong, very stony finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification."

"The 2021 Riesling Ried Gaisberg opens with a pure note of tangerine—serene, subtle and scented. The palate is as chiseled and sharp as you imagine the foliated splinters of mica schist to be, toning the riper, scented tangerine into fully ripe, aromatic lemon zest. This is direct and unmitigated—nakedly stony, absolutely chiseled and tense. A most vivid, taut Riesling with immense aromatic power and very fine bones, this is long, glorious, ripe, absolutely balanced and so linear. (Bone-dry)"
