膒 NIEDERÖSTERREICH/LOWER AUSTRIA ing personality in this climatic border region. The “Bründlmayer Brut” is in a class of its own. After traditional fermentation, it is stored on the lees for about three years then riddled by hand and disgorged in the cellar. The most valuable vintages have been stored in the wine archive since 1947. During intensive internal tastings, one learns a lot about sites, vintage character and development style. With exports of 30 percent, the family business is also very successful internationally. Five times in a row, the winery received the award “Winery of the Year” from the American “Wine & Spirits Magazine”, and the British “Financial Times” calls Bründlmayer a “beacon of Austrian viticulture”. All of the current wines can also be tasted by the glass at Heurigenhof Bründlmayer, a Renaissance building dating back to the 16th century. 96 Bründlmayer Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Langenlois Große Reserve 2017 12,5 Vol.-%, cork, bottle fermentation, €€€€€€ 96 Bründlmayer Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Langenlois Grosse Reserve 2014 95 Bründlmayer Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut Langenlois Grosse Reserve 2015 12 Vol.-%, cork, bottle fermentation, €€€€€€ 94 Bründlmayer Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Reserve Niederösterreich g.U.
