90 rating Wine Advocate December 2022

“Picked in Seitentür between the second and third week of October, the 2021 Grüner Veltliner Terrassen offers a clear and charmingly fruity bouquet with ripe stone fruit aromas. Vinified in stainless steel, this is a round and finely savory Veltliner with fine phenolic grip on the finish. Excellent! 12% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted at the domaine in September 2022.” Stephen Reinhart

Description

About the vineyards: “Willi Bründlmayer farms 90 hectares of Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, St. Laurent, Zweigelt and Burgundian varieties from an impressive collection of grand cru vineyards around Langenlois. In 2016 Andreas Wickhoff MW  joined the estate and as general manager works alongside Willi in all aspects.” The importer

About the winemaking: As of 2019, Bründlmayer is certified organic by LACON, an outside, objective, certifying body. During harvest, multiple selections through the vineyard are made, as botrytis is never accepted. Grapes are never de-stemmed or crushed, and they are handled as minimally as possible. A tiny portion of grapes are held back, de-stemmed, and macerated for 12 hours; Willi uses these as ‘seasoning’ during blending to add another dimension and tonality to the final wines.

About the wine

VINEYARD: The grapes mostly come from the young areas of the best terraced vineyards at different elevations around Langenlois

FERMENTATION & ELEVAGE: Fermentation in stainless steel and left on the fine lees until the following spring when the wines are botteled
