Vineyard & Winemaking

The Käferberg Vineyard, rising above Langenlois on the northern Kamptal slopes, is one of the region’s most coveted single sites.
Its loess and gneiss soils, mixed with marine sediments, yield Grüner Veltliner of tremendous depth, spice and minerality.

At Weingut Bründlmayer, precision is paramount:

• Organically farmed fruit from old vines (40 + years)

• Hand harvested and gently pressed for purity

• Cool fermentation and long lees aging in large neutral oak (Stockinger casks)

• Minimal intervention to preserve terroir transparency

The result is a Grüner Veltliner of profound dimension — structured, textural, and age-worthy.
