The roots of the "Goldeck" brand go back to 1859, when it was registered as the first Austrian wine brand. However, the founder of Goldeck, Robert Alwin Schlumberger, began producing sparkling wines of the highest quality in Austria as early as 1842. He acquired his first own vineyards in Bad Vöslau, in the south of Vienna. The decisive factor in his choice was the chalky soil, which reminded him of the chalky soils of Champagne. He named his vineyard "Goldeck" after the Goldeggen vineyard, giving his sparkling wine its name. This was the beginning of his success story. A visible sign of this success was the elevation of the company founder to hereditary nobility as "Edler von Goldeck". Another historical highlight that demonstrates the "Goldeck" brand's connection to Austria: On May 15, 1955, on the occasion of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty, the country's regained freedom was toasted with Clear Goldeck Extradry. Goldeck stands for pure sparkling wine quality from Austria, which is why only the best Grüner Veltliner of a vintage is used for the "Edle von Goldeck". Incidentally, the sparkling wine can only be enjoyed in restaurants.
