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.

Critic Reviews
James Suckling

"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."

"Sweet and ripe, with a thread of green herb oil weaving through its peach and apple notes, matched to saffron, celery salt and chamomile. Streaming in feel, with a glossy texture and crisp mineral structure on the tangy, snappy finish. Drink now through 2029. 25 cases imported."
