history
The winery has been owned by the Cistercian monastery Zwettl since 1740 . From 1958 the future abbot, Father Bertrand Baumann, ran the winery and made the “Gobelsburger Messwein” a well-known brand. Michael Moosbrugger (* 1966) has managed the winery since 1996. This qualitative and structural renewal was supported by Willi Bründlmayer . The winery is a member of the traditional wineries Austria .
Vineyards and wines
The vineyards total 60 hectares (as of 2016), 80% of which are planted with white and 20% with red grape varieties. The best-known Rieslings come from the Heiligenstein and Gaisberg sites , the best Veltliners from the Lamm , Kammerner Renner and Grub vineyards . These locations are all managed according to organic principles. The tradition is a specialty . Under this wine every year, depending on a Veltliner and Riesling separately expanded . Michael Moosbrugger tries to interpret the philosophy and practical approach of pre-industrial viticulture with the viticultural means of the present. Like a traditional tree press , the traditional wines are pressed particularly gently and then spontaneously fermented and matured in large Manhartsberg oak barrels without degumming . They go on sale a year later, although the longer maturing time is supposed to give them more complexity.
