2017 Bründlmayer Grüner Veltliner Loiserberg
Bründlmayer
This wine derives from a vineyard on the Loiserberg wherein one also finds the site Berg Vogelsang. The difference is that the Grüner Veltliner from Loiserberg grows on a south to southeast facing slope, which is less exposed to the winds. The soil stems from primary rock geologically defined as zoisite-amphibolite, which is decomposing granite consisting of gneiss, mica-schist, and some clay and loess.
As with the Berg Vogelsang, the grapes are harvested when they are physiologically ripe at the end of October. The wine is fermented at a moderate 15 to 20°C before being racked into large wooden casks for further maturing. Actually, the only difference to Berg Vogelsang is the exposition with slightly higher soil fertility and a marginally warmer, more protected microclimate. Alcohol: 12.5%; total acidity: 6g/L; RS: dry.
It's always an engaging wine this - a bit of an unsung hero in the Bründlmayer range, perhaps because there's nothing obvious about it. A lovely, cool Chablis aspect to it; white flowers and citrus, acidity just in balance, keeping it taut. Nice extract and a hint of lees creaminess, and length is good and pure. - Ed Merrison, CellarHand

Lots of dried-herb and lentil character on the nose. At once powerful and elegant, this is a really sophisticated 2017 Grüner Veltliner that's more open than many of the top wines of the vintage. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Fragrant wine of quince, ripe apple, wet fern and faint nougat notes. Lovely. Palate has intensity and concentration on its side, freshness too, good length, crispness, melon and stone fruit flavours, green apple to finish. Easy drinking with charisma.
