Wine Description
Captivating nose with the expected array of aromas including pineapple, milk chocolate and a touch of cantaloupe melon. Fully ripened, but not too voluptuous, allowing a glimpse of future harmony. Sweetly extracted and vivacious with salt mineral facets. Genteel elegance and crystal-clear expression. This will evolve into a truly great Riesling with its full potential to be measured in decades.
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.
