SCHLOSS GOBELSBURG is one of the oldest wineries in Austria with a documented history back to the 12thcentury. In 2021 the estate is celebrating 850 years of winemaking as Cistercian monks from Burgundy received their first vineyards in the Danube area in 1171, which marks the beginning of a long tradition of wine production.

Today the estate is not only a heritage of Austrian wine, but one of the most internationally rewarded ambassadors for Austrian culture of wine. Located in the Danube valley - 45 min west of Vienna - the winery is focusing on the regional-, village- and single vineyard wines of the Danube appellations. Aside from the typical styles of the area, the estate is looking after a few specialities like red wines based on the Pinot family, quality sparkling production, sweet wines (including icewine) and historical winemaking, which is related to the winemaking philosophies based on the rich history of the estate.

Schloss Gobelsburg is member of “Österreichische Traditionsweingüter” – an association of leading Austrian wineries, which is the institution that is looking after the vineyard classification in Austria.
