The wines of Weingut Bründlmayer

Weingut Bründlmayer has been producing Grüner Veltliners and Rieslings for decades that rank among Austria's absolute top wines. Winemaker Willi Bründlmayer has farmed his beautiful vineyards along the steep banks of the Danube fully organically for thirty years. His international fame is due to fantastic vineyards, but above all to his relentless drive to produce top quality year after year.

The beautiful vineyards of Weingut Bründlmayer lie on the steep slopes of a hill not far from the Danube, in the Kamptal wine district. The forests to the north shelter 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 already founded these vineyards on the hill by the Danube, where Bründlmayer still picks his grapes today.

Since 1980, Willi Bründlmayer, together with his family, has run the family business - with great success. Connoisseurs of Austrian wine have long counted his wines among the absolute top. Like an increasing number of other top producers, Willi Bründlmayer farms organically.

This choice stems from Willi's own view of winemaking, in which ecological balance plays an important role. Bründlmayer uses only natural compost from his own vineyards. He lets vineyards lie fallow for a few years before replanting them with new vines, so nature can fully recover. Along steep vineyards he builds small streams here and there to prevent erosion.

Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are Bründlmayer's most important grapes. They can be cellared for years - in fact, according to connoisseurs, you should let his best wines rest in the cellar for at least ten years to experience their true potential. He also makes distinctive terroir wines from Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris (Weissburgunder and Grauburgunder) and Chardonnay. Wines from grapes grown in his best vineyards carry the name 'Lamm' on the label.

The vines in these vineyards have an average age of more than seventy years. About a third of his vineyards are planted with dark-skinned grapes: Zweigelt, St. Laurent and Pinot Noir. 'A challenge', according to Willi Bründlmayer, since it isn't easy to make characterful red wines in the cool climate of Kamptal. But he has taken up the challenge - successfully - in his own words 'because my wife prefers a glass of red wine in the evening'. We currently have one wine from Weingut Bründlmayer in our range.
