2019 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 13%; RS dry; acidity 6g/L.
Delicate bouquet of pome and stone fruit enriched by flowery aspects (acacia) with a whiff of spice and yeast, dry, refreshing and stimulating, very sappy and with good body. Frequent joyful bursts of fruit flavour, perfectly balanced, as it also shows a strong backbone and good length. – Weingut Bründlmayer

Lots of smoke, licorice and mineral with almost no fruit, but so much expression. There’s also mountain freshness to this that gives it another kind of energy. So much mineral drive at the finish that you have to hold onto your seat! Great aging potential. Drink or hold.

Citrus, stone and crushed herb unite on the subtle nose, leaving you thinking of lemon, sage and potentilla. The palate adds fresh, green pear to the mix and pits these flavours against a lovely backdrop of supple, springy and smooth yeastiness. Those herb notions have a salty echo on the long finish. 96 points.
