2019 Bründlmayer Grüner Veltliner Kamptal Terrassen

Weingut Bründlmayer in the Kamptal

The beautiful vineyards of Weingut Bründlmayer are located on the steep slopes of a hill not far from the Danube in the Kamptal wine district. The forests in the north protect the grapes from the cold northwest wind. Summers can be hot, but in the evening the water of the Danube cools the vineyards. Eight hundred years ago, Cistercian monks founded all these vineyards on the hill on the Danube where Bründlmayer still picks his grapes today. Bründlmayer winery is one of the top 10 white wine producers in Austria. The winery is a family business and measures approximately 75 Hectares. Willi Bründlmayer took over the winery from his parents in 1980. From them he inherited the love and respect for nature. He attaches great importance to the natural balance in his vineyards. It does not use chemical agents such as herbicides and the vineyards are fertilized exclusively with organic agents (such as compost from plant waste). The terroir plays an important role in his wines. The vineyards are located in and around the village of Langenlois in the Kamptal wine-growing region (approx. 70 km west of Vienna). They are mainly located on terraces and sloping slopes on the banks of the Kamp river, near the mouth of the Danube. They are protected from the cold northwest wind, and catch the warmth of the sun on the stone bottom during the day, to cool off again at night by the fresh forest air. The soil consists mainly of scant primary rock, sometimes with a top layer of loess.

Harvest & working method

All grapes are hand-picked from mid-September to sometimes in November in small 10 kg boxes. The wines are fermented cool (not cold!). The very modern cellar of Willi Bründlmayer offers all possibilities for "modern winemaking", but he does not pursue "high-tech" wines. After the fermentation in steel, the wines mature in large wooden barrels of Austrian (Manhartsberger) oak or acacia. Some wines (such as the chardonnay) also age in small 300L barrels.
The main white grape varieties of Weingut Bründlmayer are Grüner Veltliner (33%), Riesling (25%), Chardonnay (6%) and Grauer Burgunder (= Pinot gris, 5%). Furthermore, beautiful red wines are made from Pinot Noir, Zweigelt and St. Laurent, among others, and he makes a masterly vintage (Bründlmayer Brut).
