Weingut Bründlmayer - Grüner Veltiner L&T 2019
Weingut Bründlmayer is a producer located in Langenlois, Kamptal, northwest of Vienna, Austria. The estate specialises in the production of white wines made mainly from the Grüner Veltliner grape variety. From 1947, a selection of the estate's most beloved wines was stored in the 700-year-old "vinothek" (wine collection) to provide historical records for future generations. Owner Willi Bründlmayer attaches great importance to the ecological balance of his vines and only uses organic fertilizers for the cultivation of his vines. It relies on natural resources: no herbicides are used and the vines are driven just above the ground to maximize the beneficial effects of soil heat on the grapes.
The Grüner Vetliner L&T is made from grapes sourced from elevated and therefore slightly cooler terraces with light, stony soils. The formation of sugar in the grapes develops more slowly in these sites. The fermentation is cool, producing some effervescence in the wine which vanishes again in the course of maturation. Through careful handling, gentle racking, and early bottling enough of this gentle fizz remains to be noticed in the young wine.
