Production of the Grüner Veltliner - Bründlmayer

The grapes for the Grüner Veltliner - Bründlmayer come from selected sites in the Kamptal. The region lies in northern Lower Austria and is regarded as one of the most exciting white-wine origins in the Old World. The climate is distinctly continental, with warm days and noticeably cool nights. These temperature variations encourage slow ripening and give the grapes intense aromas and a lively, fresh structure.

The soils of the Kamptal form a fascinating mosaic: loess, gravel, clay, and rock formations such as gneiss and slate come together here. This diversity is reflected in the wine through its precise, mineral character. Grüner Veltliner is particularly sensitive to its surroundings and expresses the terroir with nuance. The vines root deeply and absorb different soil characteristics, which significantly enhances the complexity in the glass.

The grapes are harvested selectively, with only the finest fruit making its way into the cellar, bunch by bunch. The winemaker looks for ideal ripeness with intense aromatic expression and lively acidity. The harvested grapes remain undamaged during transport in small containers, preserving the berries’ freshness in full. In the cellar, gentle pressing follows, using only the clear, finest must.

Maturation in stainless-steel tanks brings the varietal fruit into the glass in a pure and unadulterated form. Temperature-controlled fermentation preserves the fresh notes of green apple, citrus, and white pepper. By avoiding wood, the style remains crystal-clear, linear, and focused. The wine shows the character of Grüner Veltliner in its pure, taut form.

The style of the Bründlmayer winery embodies precision, elegance, and great attention to detail. Every decision in the vineyard and cellar is aimed at balance, expression, and authenticity. Meticulous craftsmanship, sustainable farming, and a deep understanding of the Kamptal shape a white wine with a clear origin and unmistakable signature.

When stored in a cool, dark place at a constant temperature, the Grüner Veltliner from the Kamptal continues to develop charm and expression for more than two years after the vintage. Its fresh acid structure remains intact, while the fruit becomes slightly rounder and the spicy character shines through more strongly.
