The estate

Thanks to his determination and his broad know-how, the wines by Weingut Bründlmayer are symbols of the fine Austrian wines today, all while meticulously applying the Austrian government's organic farming programme. In addition to this organic viticulture, a unique terroir at the mouth of the Danube and the Kamp rivers ensures the variety and uniqueness of these rare wines. The wines by Weingut Bründlmayer, a member of the International Wine Academy, stand out due to their Austrian identity and their international style.

The vineyard

Pinot Noir Langenlois 2017 by Weingut Bründlmayer stems from the most ripe grapes from the excellent Dechant and Käferberg vineyards. Dechant is a protected area with limestone soil and influenced by south-east facing loess terraces. On the higher ground there is clay with old rock and gravel deposits. The grapes usually reach a good ripeness level, but a meticulous selection is necessary to obtain top quality grapes. Käferberg is situated at the upper end of a high south-eastern slope, to the north-west of Langenlois. The soil is made up of marine deposits of limestone and clay preserved on sand and gravel on a crystalline substratum of gneiss, micaschist or amphibolite.

Vinification and ageing

Following the harvest, the grapes are taken to the cellar to begin the traditional vinification process. Maceration lasts one and a half weeks and is then aged in 300 litre Austrian oak barrels for 2 to 3 years.
