Wine Description
An enchanting bouquet of honeysuckle, Reine Claude plum, pear, exotic
nuances and herbal spice over discreetly toasty background. Initially mild and
creamy on the palate, then surprisingly concentrated and powerful while
simultaneously remaining fresh and appetizing. Juicy, full body with a taut spine
of acid. Concentrated and spicy with still youthful tannins on the long finish.
An exemplary Langenlois Grüner Veltliner from a sunny vintage. (Viktor Siegl)
Winery
Weingut Bründlmayer is situated in Langenlois, some 70km north-west of Vienna, upstream along the Danube in the Lower Austrian Kamp Valley. The wooded hills of the Waldviertel protect the vineyards from the cold north-westerly winds. During the day, the sun warms the stony terraces, while at night the fresh, fragrant forest air drifts through the Kamp Valley into the Langenloiser Arena.
