Schloss Gobelsburg

Winery Star

Wine Leaders' Choice

Gobelsburg, Austria

Schloss Gobelsburg is a winery steeped in history, with roots dating back to 1171 when Cistercian monks acquired their first vineyards. Located in Austria, it still produces wines from those original two sites today. The winery was added to the castle in the 18th century, and its main building was soon transformed into Baroque style under the ownership of one of its many prestigious owners. It is no surprise that the tours and tastings take two and a half hours, as visitors receive a history lesson along with a wine tasting.

Schloss Gobelsburg has a long-standing commitment to organic farming and sustainability, using chemicals only when absolutely necessary. The winery’s agriculture is now certified sustainable, with minimal mechanical reliance in the winery.

The winery offers a range of white and red still wines, sweet wines from Riesling and Grüner Veltliner grapes, traditional sparkling Sekt, and Schnapps. Last year, a new wing was added to the cellars, designed in the traditional materials of brick and stone as a set of cloisters around a courtyard, paying homage to the founding order. Schloss Gobelsburg balances tradition with innovative winemaking techniques, such as a wheelie system to avoid extra machinery.

The winery produces single-vineyard bottlings, including Rieslings and Grüner Veltliners, which are available in dry to sweet styles, including trockenbeerenauslese. The winery uses Austrian oak for its barrels to create a symbiosis with the land from which the fruit was grown. With countless events and musical festivities held throughout the year, Schloss Gobelsburg offers an enjoyable and memorable experience for visitors seeking history, tradition, and great wines.
