2oo8 - Schloss Gobelsburger - Kamptal - Trocken - Riesling - $18 - (Classic, Mineral Wine, Food Wine, Ager) - Well, if you love riesling and you love heavily mineral-laced wines, then pick up a few of these. A pale straw/green wine with suspended gas and a low viscosity, yet with a slightly reserved but potentially intense nose of liquid white-rock, mineral and peach-pear-lime fruit as well as a faint hint of green herb and petrol. On the palette is all acid, lime, tinned peach and that resounding wet mineral loop. This doesn't compare to the layerd fruit of a Mosel, but no one would make such a mistake in blind tasting. So if German Riesling is, "too sweet or too fruity", steer the glass in this direction, because it is in every way a, Classic Dry Austrian Riesling, just waiting for a Sausage sandwich with kraut, grilled onions and pungent mustard!
