Vineyard & Winemaking

The Steinmassl Vineyard, a historic terraced site above Langenlois, is planted on ancient gneiss and schist soils that produce Rieslings of clarity and minerality.
Cool breezes from the Waldviertel temper the ripening season, allowing grapes to retain vibrant acidity and aromatic intensity.

At Weingut Bründlmayer, precision and patience define the style:

• Hand-harvested fruit from organically farmed terraces

• Whole-bunch pressing for delicacy and purity

• Cool fermentation in stainless steel to preserve energy

• Short lees aging for texture and harmony

The result is a Riesling of stunning focus — vibrant, pure, and long-lived.
