TASTING NOTES

Bruck is probably one of the most exciting and unique single-vineyards of the Wachau. It is situated on the very edge of Austria’s winegrowing zone. Thanks to the particular microclimate, the grapes in the south-facing and steep-terraced Bruck vineyard ripens beautifully. Wines from Bruck are characterised by distinctively cool scents and particular elegance.
The wine is lively yellow with green reflections. The distinctive “Bruck-style” is smoky with a precise structure and complex rich stone fruit aromas and exotic. The palate is balanced and elegant tasting of apricot, ripe peach and quince. The persistent minerality and racy acidity are well balanced by this wine’s full-body and lasting-finish.

An intense bouquet of wild herbs and lime that's far removed from the riesling norm. Cool and rather powerful yet quite tart this is a challenging wine but it has a lot of character. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
