2009 Grüner Veltliner Alte Reben, Weingut Bründlmayer
“Alte Reben” translates as old vines, in this case average vine age is over 50 years, this lends the wine power and richness. The grapes were picked in November in great condition, after fermentation in 2-3 year old 300 litre oak barrels the wine was racked and matured in large, 2500 litre barrels. Grüner Veltliner is a great food wine and has particular affinity with a wide variety of fish dishes and Pan-Asian cuisine
"Tasting Note (from producers website): Flowers & fresh (exotic) fruit (citrus and pineapple); apples and pears some peppery spice & just a hint of toasty & nutty aromas , on the palate dry following through with mouthwatering fruit also grapefruit, pineapple, melon, lots of minerals and some peppery spice, concentrated, with a good grip, and harmonically integrating acidity, a quite subtle wine well balanced showing typical minerals and spice in the long after taste."
