New Delhi : Aspri Spirits, one of the leading importers and distributors of premium spirits, wines and beers in India showcased the exclusive Austrian wines from the house of Schloss Gobelsburg. Schloss Gobelsburg is one of the oldest wineries in Austria. Gobelsburgs history of settlement goes back beyond 4000 years, which is documented by Celtlic ceramics shown in a vitrine of the Gobelsburg cellars.

The castle was first mentioned in a contract dated 1074 in relation to Azzo de Gobatsburich, Earl of Kuenring. The Monastery of Zwettl – also a Kuenringer foundation of 1138 – in the northern parts of lower Austria is today the owner of the property. But till the 12th century the fortress remained in the belonging of the Kuenringer family but changed hands until 1740 to as many as 19 different families on the estate and castle Gobelsburg.

Aspri Spirits distributes four wines from the house of Schloss Gobelsburg in India. Three out of four are white wines. The white wines are Domaine Gobelsburger Gruner Veltliner, Schloss Gobelsburger Gruner Veltiner (Kamptal), Schloss Gobelsburger Riesling Urgenstein(Kamptal) and the name of the red wine is Schloss Gobelsburger Zweigelt.

Speaking on the occasion, Michael Moosebrugger, CEO, Schloss Gobelsburg said, “Indian market has been very supportive for our products. We will continue to put all our efforts behind the Indian market and present the best to the discerning Indian consumer. The wines have been widely accepted by the masses and that itself gives us immense pride.”

Jackie Matai, Co-Founder, Aspri Spirits mentioned that, Schloss Gobelsburg has been a great addition to our portfolio which we started representing about three years ago. It is one of those Austrian companies, with a great heritage that lay immense emphasis on achieving a high quality end product.
