Riesling Reserve Heiligenstein Lyra - Weingut Bründlmayer

In the glass, the Riesling Reserve Heiligenstein Lyra from Bründlmayer shows a bright light yellow color. This wine also shows golden yellow reflections in the core. After the first swirl, one can perceive a perfect balance in this white wine, as it does not stand out on the glass walls watery or syrupy or liqueur-like. This single varietal Austrian wine displays delightfully distinguished and complex notes of lime, star fruit, orange and pomelo in the glass. These are joined by hints of Mediterranean herbs, juniper and garrigue.

On the palate, Bründlmayer's Riesling Reserve Heiligenstein Lyra opens wonderfully dry, grippy and aromatic. Balanced and multifaceted, this melting and crisp white wine presents itself on the palate.
