2012 Bründlmayer Riesling Kamptal Terrassen
Bründlmayer
This Riesling is a blend of wines sourced from different terraced (therefore 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, Willi Bründlmayer obtains a Riesling that shows both finesse and a certain vigour.
Alcohol: 12,5 %
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.
Wine Spectator
92 points.
A minerally style, offering pure and powerful flavors of currant, dried white raspberry and gooseberry, with mouthwatering notes of lemon bar. Accents of mineral and slate show on the finish. Drink now through 2022.

16/20
RS 2.5 g/l, TA 5 g/l. Lime citrus freshness but stony, too, and a touch cedary, perhaps very slightly reductive (flinty/sulphidic). Tight, bright, intensely zesty and refreshing. Not particularly concentrated but lingers.
