Göttlesbrunn Favorites

Favorite thing:
Göttlesbrunn is worth a visit every season of the year. This is the Rosenberg vineyard on a foggy day in January... and it was very, very cold so that the ice was on the roots ...

Brrrrr .... very uncosy but wonderful to see and photograph! So prepare warm clothing, take your camera and make a hike in the vineyards.

Favorite thing:
There is always a reason to make a visit in Göttlesbrunn and to hike in the vineyards. You can enjoy the nature and the vineyards yearround.

Also photo friends will find lots of interesting photo objects. I like the fall season when the foliage of the grapevines get coloured like in the picture on your left.

Favorite thing:
If you come in late spring you can see the future grapes blooming. It looks nice and smells good too .... and it is unbelievable that something becomes a grape and a good wine later ....

Further it is something for those who like photography!

Fondest memory:
The wine blooms much later than the other fruits. In most cases this takes place in mid-June, but sometimes it can be earlier and sometimes also later. It depends also on the weather!

Fondest memory:
When I was walking through the vineyards to take some pictures for VT, there was also a very spectacular sunset, which I had to photograph. I was late and the sun had nearly set ... You can also this and much more when walking through the vineyards.... Ok, the weather must be good ....

:-))

Favorite thing:
This is a view from the Bärenreiser location. I took this photo in the late evening and also the weather was very good. The mountain in the background is the "Schneeberg" ("Snowmount" in english). It is nearly 100 kms away from here and Lower Austria´s highest peak (2007 meters above sea level).

Fondest memory:
Bärenreiser is another great location for premium wines and it is very similar with Rosenberg. You will see it when you take a hike or a bike tour from Göttlesbrunn to Höfleim, the neighbor village.

Favorite thing:
This location name mean "wood lane" in english. In former days they had transported the wood from the forest to village on this route. There are not so much vineyards there, because it is not such a good location.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Fondest memory:
But this has changed over the last years, due to the big request of the village's wines. So more and more vintners began to plant vineyards here. But they are not used for the premium wines, but for the simple everyday-wines....

Favorite thing:
These are the Rosenberg vineyards. Rosenberg means "Rosemount" in English. Some people say that it is the best location in Göttlesbrunn. Yes indeed, it is one of the best. It is a slope looking into the south and so the vineyards get a maximum of sun every day. And there are rich soils, which makes it perfectly for powerful red wines.

Fondest memory:
And it is one of the most beautiful locations here in Göttlesbrunn - specially with the big cherry tree in the middle!

Favorite thing:
This picture shows the "Hagelsberg" location. I don´t know how could I translate that into english, I think it means "Mont hail" or "Hailmount". However, this location is a very good vineyard too. It brings powerful reds with rich body and fully extract. The varietes "Zweigelt" and "Blaufränkisch" are planted here.
