Grüner Veltliner Loiserberg Kamptal DAC 1ÖTW

The Loiserberg is one of the characterful sites in the Kamptal — and Bründlmayer extracts a Grüner Veltliner here that shows why the region counts among Austria's white wine elite.

The Bründlmayer winery in Langenlois has been cultivating top sites in the Kamptal for generations and is one of the founding members of the Österreichische Traditionsweingüter (1ÖTW) — an association that transfers the Burgundian site concept to Austrian soil. The Loiserberg is high, faces south-southeast, and is well protected from the wind by the topography. This brings even ripening while maintaining cool night temperatures — ideal for acidity structure and finesse.

The hand-picked grapes are fermented classically in stainless steel tanks, which brings the varietal typicity to the fore: in the glass, white pepper, green apple, and a hint of grapefruit, underneath a fine mineral vein. The body is taut, the acidity present but not edgy, the finish dry and long.

Serving recommendation: Well chilled at 10–12 °C. Goes well with Wiener Schnitzel, grilled zander, asparagus with hollandaise, or a ripe mountain cheese.
