Winemaker Notes

Impressive, very individual bouquet still marked by noble reduction, fine yeasty spice and a touch of toasty, flinty minerals, while only reluctantly showing hints of white flowers, pome fruit, green nuts and a touch of exotic fruit. Starting creamy on the palate, then fresh and bone dry, again with many fragrant hints of fruit followed by minerals and spice. Great balance, elegance and persistence until to the almost salty final.

Pairs well with fish, poultry, veal, pork, duck, and Asian Cuisine.

Professional Ratings

    Very striking nose of mango chutney, burnt sage and cooked lentils. The hint of leesy funk blows off quickly. This wine is all about textural and chalky complexity and not at all about fruit. Tons of structure, but the creamy candied-citrus character is very nicely wrapped around this. Very serious, long finish.

    Whole-cluster pressed and fermented in 300-liter oak barrels, the 2020 Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm 1ÖTW shows an attractive reduction with floral, wax and ripe and intense fruit and tea aromas. Smoky or toasty on the palate, with fumé aromas, this is an elegant, refined and persistently salty Veltliner with fine grip and a long, complex finish. This is one of the most Burgundian Veltliners from the Danube.

Brundlmayer The Brundlmayer Team Winery Image

The Weingut Bründlmayer is situated in Langenlois, some 70 km north-west of Vienna, upstream along the Danube in the Lower Austrian Kamp Valley. The wooded hills of the Waldviertel protect the vineyards from the cold north-westerly winds. During the day, the sun warms the stony terraces, while at night the fresh, fragrant forest air drifts through the Kamp Valley into the Langenlois Arena. The wines are characterised by a combination of hot days and cool nights, the meeting of the Danube and Kamp valleys, and the geological and climatic diversity of the vineyards.

The winery includes the family dwelling, a cellar equipped with best available technology and a heuriger which is open almost all year round and where all wines can be tasted in a convivial atmosphere. The family members and a committed, enthusiastic workforce devote care and attention to the vinification of the hand-picked grapes.

Fun to say and delightfully easy to drink, Grüner Veltliner calls Austria its homeland. While some easily quaffable Grüners come in a one-liter—a convenient size—many high caliber single vineyard bottlings can benefit from cellar aging. Somm Secret—About 75% of the world’s Grüner Veltliner comes from Austria but the variety is gaining ground in other countries, namely Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and the United States.

Climbing north and slightly east of the Kremstal region, Kamptal has very little vineyard area bordering the Danube River (unlike Wachau and Kremstal, whose vineyards run along it). The region takes its name from the river called Kamp, which traverses it north and south. Kamptal’s densely planted vineyards represent eight percent of Austria’s total.

The area experiences wide diurnal temperature variations like the Wachau but with less rain and more frost. Its vast geologic diversity makes it suitable for various experimentations with other varieties besides Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, such as Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc (Weissburgunder), Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, St. Laurent and Zweigelt.

But the region is probably most noted for the beautiful and expansive terraced Heiligenstein, arguably one of the world’s top Riesling sites, as well as some of Austria’s most extraordinary Grüner Veltliner vineyards. Kamptal’s soils, which are mostly loess and sand with some gravel and rocks, make it suitable for Grüner Veltliner, so much so that actually half of the zone is planted to that grape.
