Wine Description
Initially reductive with a yeasty background, then followed with fruity fireworks
led by Mirabelle plum and yellow peach. Concentrated and expressive with an
exotic touch. Oak is quickly integrated. Powerful body, but finely chiseled and
defined. Already quite open, exuding sweet fruit and all indications of a great
Grüner Veltliner. Salty caramel notes linger on the long finish.
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.
