Wine Description
Extremely youthful and exuberant, beginning smoky and yeasty, but also
corpulent. Reine Claude plum fruit and creamy delicacy are backed on the
palate with multiple nuances including Burgundian notes, chestnut and walnut.
Tightly woven and agile, much more chiseled than in previous years, vibrant
and lively all the way through the racy finish – highest expectations.
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.
