Bründlmayer Reid Loiserberg Grüner Veltliner 2019

This wine derives from a vineyard on the Loiserberg wherein one also finds the site Berg Vogelsang. The difference is that the Grüner Veltliner from Loiserberg grows on a south to southeast facing slope, which is less exposed to the winds. The soil stems from primary rock geologically defined as zoisite-amphibolite, which is decomposing granite consisting of gneiss, mica-schist, and some clay and loess.

"Lots of smoke, licorice and mineral with almost no fruit, but so much expression. There's also mountain freshness to this that gives it another kind of energy. So much mineral drive at the finish that you have to hold onto your seat! Great aging potential." Drink or hold. 97 points. Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com
