Schloss Gobelsburg 50 year Tradition

Incredibly deep and complex, this has all the mystery of great white wines that have matured for decades in the bottle, but is still lively.

99 Points - James Suckling

Beginning this year, the TRADITION wines will henceforth be issued in editions. In order to launch this with Edition 850, the winery is introducing its jubilee wine Tradition Heritage 50 Jahre (50 Years). Working with the cellar team, an extraordinary wine has been created: a cuvée blended from wines of five decades, in which rarities reaching back into the 1970s have been included. And in tune with the relevant numbers, 1171 cases of 6x750ml plus 850 magnums of this remarkable wine have been bottled.
