Wine Description

Hints of flowers, mocha, caramel as well as yeast, then apples and lime; still quite juvenile and dry on the palate, with medium body, good substance & structure backed by nice acidity, supporting the idea of apple and lime fruit, then spice and salty minerals following through to the finish, good length. Promising.

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.
