2022 Grüner Veltliner, Kamptaler Terrassen, Willi Bründlmayer, Kamptal, Austria

The Kamptal region of Austria is home to some of the world’s most masterful wines, and this cuvée from Weingut Bründlmayer is an incredibly good-value window into its unique terroir and expert winemaking. The colour is a bright, straw yellow, and the nose bursts with aromatics, with ripe apples and hints of elderflower and acacia flowers. The palate is beautifully smooth, with flavours of ripe peaches paired with a mouthwatering minerality, reminiscent of the stony soils upon which the Grüner Veltliner is planted, up on the elevated terraces. This finish is long, finessed and very energetic. A versatile and immensely enjoyable wine, pair with Asian cuisine and seafood dishes.
