Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From a south-southeast-facing cru on Gföhler gneiss soils and ranging from 240 to 340 meters in altitude, the 2021 Riesling Ried Steinmassl 1ÖTW was picked on October 18 and 19, then macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine shows a clear and intense, pure and elegant nose with ripe and elegant fruit aromas intertwined with spicy and saline notes. Crystalline and savory on the palate, this is a medium-bodied yet supple and tightly structured Steinmassl with clear, defined fruit and fine tannins intermingled with the saline acidity. Very long and complex finish. It's still on its way but very promising. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in October 2022.

Description
Bründlmayer Ried Steinmassl Riesling is a white wine from the Kamptal DAC region, renowned for its Erste Lage ÖTW vineyard.
The vines of the Steinmassl vineyard are trained using the lyre pruning system. A method, in which the vine is bifurcated in such a way that the branches seem to reach the heavens like sun worshippers. This system doubles leaf exposure and promotes aeration, which improves photosynthesis and prevents the dreaded fungal diseases.
Elaboration
The sparse, stony soil provides small berries with concentrated flavour. For Riesling, a significant part of the flavour is stored in the skins of the grapes and is only released by extremely slow pressing for up to 8 hours or by prolonged skin contact overnight. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and maturation is completed with 5-10% of the lees.
Taste
Bründlmayer Ried Steinmassl Riesling stands out for its "surprisingly fresh" freshness with notes of ferns and savoury notes with an underlying lemony fruit. It is very energetic, radically dry and racy for an Austrian wine. It has a very long finish, which can be polarising, but certainly exciting for many. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now or saved for later.
