Wine Description
The Steinmassl, formerly understandably categorized as Reserve, offers a
brilliant opening act: an elegantly drawn blend of gooseberry and red peach,
lively and already multi-layered with a robust base note that continues on the
palate with crystal clear, pale fruit nuances. Exhilarating, yet also simultaneously
deep; impressive substance pairs with a fine, racy play of acid. Long finish and
plenty of potential for further development. Unquestionably the best Steinmassl
ever.
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.
