2022 Brundlmayer, Willi - Gruner Veltliner Kamptaler Terrassen

Langenloiser Berg Vogelsang is located on the Loiserberg, but curves to the southwest and is adjacent to a mixed forest – because of its diverse bird population called “mountain Vogelsang”. The soil at the Langenloiser Berg Vogelsang is a subspecies of the Gföhl gneiss, strictly speaking a Loisberg “zoisite amphibolite” (prehistoric rock) with grenades (semiprecious stones) and mica schist. Fermented in stainless steel, then racked into a mix of large used oak & stainless.

Producer notes: "The sole white wine of the estate is produced in the Roero district from an 0.80 hectare plot in Vezza d’Alba. The soil is essentially sandy in composition and sits at 340 meters altitude on south-facing slopes. The vineyard was planted in 1980. Harvest (manual) normally occurs in mid-September. The grapes are briefly macerated and the fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures (around 15 degrees Celsius) for two to three weeks. The wine rests in stainless steel until the early spring months of the following year and is usually released to the market, after several months of bottle aging, in late summer/early fall

A special selection of older vines, some 80 years or older, from the estate’s peerless flint-rich soils. A stunning, complex wine and one that will age, too; put a case away and forget about it for 10 years, then be amazed!

-Importer notes

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc has a zesty and vibrant nose, with notes of juicy citrus and makrut lime underpinned by subtle white nectarine and passionfruit notes. The palate is mouthwatering, with ripe vibrant passionfruit and citrus at the fore. These meld with tropical hints of peach and guava, gently balanced by stony saline notes.
