Tasting notes
The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Reserve is a blend of Grüner Veltliner, Welschriesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc, offering notions of lemon, moss, cornbread and hay. The palate is sprightly, slender, vivid and bright, emphasizing the lemon element of the aromas and delivering beautiful energy. This is a lively aperitif style with a dry, lip-smacking finish and pleasant lemon length. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: July 2024.

The NV Brut Reserve (disgorged in May 2021) is based on the 2016 vintage and includes 50% Grüner Veltliner, 20% Zweigelt and 30% Welschriesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Vinified in stainless steel and disgorged after four years with a dosage of seven grams per liter, the vividly yellow-colored wine offers an intense yet elegant, refined and floral bouquet of ripe and nutty-scented fruit intermixed with fresh bread notes. Mouthfilling, round and juicy on the palate, with remarkable finesse and a highly delicate finish, this is a round, fruity and perfectly balanced sparkling wine based on grapes from the Kamptal. Tasted at Schloss Gobelsburg in June 2021.
The NV Brut Reserve blends 70% Grüner Veltliner with 15% each of Riesling and Pinot Noir from the 2013 and 2012 vintages plus Reserve wines. Deep and remarkablely fine, clear, fresh and elegant on the nose where ripe cherries, toast, brioche and mineral flavors are displayed. Pure and fresh on the palate, this full-bodied and refreshing Sekt is greatly structured, very mineral and even salty. It displays perfectly ripe cherry and red berry fruit that reflects bubbly Pinot Noir at its best. There is remarkable transparency and finesse in this sparkler whose finish is dry, mineral, fresh and long. An impressive Sekt from Lower Austria, this was disgorged with 6 grams in April 2017. Tasted in July 2017.
