Weingut Brundlmayer
The thing about this estate is that outside of the Wachau, this is probably the No 1 domaine in all of Austria. If you are to believe Andreas Larsson, the World Champion sommelier for 2007 – Brundlmayer is in fact THE top Austrian producer of them all. However you look at, it this is another one of the world’s top white wine growers. The Kamptal is not really that far away from the Wachau or Kremstal but it does throw up a whole different terroir/wine style mix. Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are still kings; but there are no Federspiel/Smaragd categories, as it’s a different GI. Weingut Bründlmayer is situated in Langenlois, some 70 km 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. These wines are dry, mineral, powerful and well balanced. And not so expensive, at least compared to their Wachau neighbours.
Riesling Kamptaler Terrassen 2022
Kamptal DAC
This Riesling is a blend of wines sourced from different terraced (=high quality) vineyards. The elevated terraces consist of stonier soils that bring fruit driven wines with mineral nuances and good aging potential. The vines from lower sited terraces grow partly on layered fertile loess and bring earlier maturing wines that are very expressive in their youth.
By combining those two characteristics, we obtain a Riesling that shows both finesse and a certain vigor. First time filled with Stelvin Closure
Tasting note:
very pure, attractive primary fruit (classic apricot & peach and also tangerine & citrus), flowery elements some herbs and green tea, still a bit yeasty, yet open at the front, with a hint of minerals and flowery aroma , straightforward and quite fresh on the palate again with surprising fruit, medium body, great minerals, perfectly balanced structure, showing good potential.
Food pairing:
Seafood, cold starters, grilled fish, white meat, fried or roasted chicken and different asian dishes (Wok) if not too hot.
