Willi Brundlmayer

Willi Brundlmayer was incredibly excited about the 2015 vintage when we visited, with healthy grapes and despite drought conditions proved to be a very favourable harvest. Floral nose of lime and jasmine. Hint of beeswax adding complexity with citrus fruit core. Juicy and well balanced, very quaffable.
Fiona Hayes, Wine Buyer

This has wonderfully classic Riesling aromas of white peach, citrus and white flowers, with additional complexity from flinty and herbal notes. The palate has juicy acidity and an evident citrus character, with a good level of density on the core and finish. Drink now to 2020.

The 2016 Ried Steinmassel 1ÖTW Riesling is super clear, pure and fresh on the nose that is provided with concentrated ginger, lime and lemon aromas that are intertwined with herbal and flinty/stony flavors. Fermented in stainless steel, this is a lean, pure, straight, bone dry, and beautifully salty Riesling from gneiss and slate soils. It is structured by fine tannins and very delicate acidity. This is a gorgeous Steinmassl with 12.9% alcohol. Tasted as a sample in late June 2016.
Rating 91-92

Willi Brundlmayer is considered a legend of the wine industry, producing consistently high-quality wines, with great care and thought in both the vineyard and the winery. This single-vineyard Riesling offers brilliant concentration and length with notes of juniper, peach and lime zest. Chiselled with racing acidity, it is a spectacular accompaniment to fish and seafood as well as pork and Asian cuisine. Drink now or over the next 10 years (to 2028).

Citrus top notes are layered with white flowers and fine minerality. The structure of the wine is direct and linear, though the characteristic spicy depth that often defines Austrian Riesling brings additional complexity. Poised, concentrated and finely-wrought. Perfect with fresh cheese, summer vegetable dishes, and grilled white fish.
Katherine Dart MW, Wine Buyer This wine has a concentrated core of rich stone fruits that include peach and fresh apricots, that are beautifully balanced with a chalky minerality and silky texture. The cuvee has a great complexity with subtle dried apricot and honey flavours that add an extra dimension. Pairs well with Asian cuisine, white meat dishes and hard cheeses.

Reinhard Löwenstein created his estate in 1980, spending the early years identifying top sites, before settling on five hectares of prime, precipitous Winningen (Lower Mosel) slate slopes. His passion lies in expressing the personality of each of his myriad slate soils, trusting only in his senses.

A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with a little Grüner Veltliner, this wine has biscuity autolytic notes on the nose, with lovely aromas of apple and lemon. The palate is dry, refreshing and mineral, with cool citrus and apple fruit concentration, a fine, silky mousse, and a lingering finish. The time on lees adds layers of complexity and texture.
