Tasting Notes

Appearance: Pale straw with silver hues — crystalline and luminous.
Aroma: Lime zest, apricot blossom, and white peach, layered with crushed rock, flint, and a delicate floral lift.
Palate: Intense yet weightless. Juicy citrus and stone fruit glide across a taut spine of acidity and crystalline minerality. A cool, stony elegance builds with each sip.
Finish: Endless and refined — lime, chalk, and wet-stone nuances linger with breathtaking precision.

Vineyard & Winemaking

The Heiligenstein Vineyard is Austria’s most celebrated Riesling site — a steep, south-facing amphitheatre of Permian desert sandstone and volcanic rock, dating back 270 million years.
This ancient terroir gives the wine its trademark mineral intensity, tension, and longevity.

At Weingut Bründlmayer, every detail is guided by precision:

• Organic viticulture and hand-harvested fruit

• Whole-bunch pressing for delicacy

• Fermented in stainless steel and large neutral oak for purity

• Extended lees contact for texture and depth

The result is a Riesling of immense refinement, balancing fruit purity with profound minerality — a hallmark of both vineyard and producer.
