The 2018 vintage for Brundlmayer's Ried Langenloiser Steinmassl Riesling emerged from a growing season marked by an early summer after a warm January, leading to ideal flowering conditions and high hopes for a bountiful harvest, despite an extremely dry summer. This wine is a testament to Brundlmayer's reputation as a standard-bearer for Kamptal wines, contributing significantly to the region's elevated profile. The Steinmassl vineyard, with its distinctive granite, gneiss, and schistose soils, imparts a unique character to the Riesling. 【Awarded 93 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate as "one of the finest dry Rieslings tasted in Kamptal in 2019"】, this vintage is celebrated for its particular elegance, delicate focus, and prominent minerality. Expect a graceful aromatic arc dominated by lime and gooseberry, alongside delicate and bright fruit nuances, and beautiful vineyard peach, all harmoniously balanced with a matching acidity. Other critics noted candied grapefruit, apricot, herbal spice, yellow tropical fruit, and a complex, juicy, and elegant palate with a salty-mineral finish. It presents with a pale golden yellow hue and silver reflections. 🍴 This versatile Riesling is an excellent companion to a wide array of dishes, including all types of starters, seafood, marinated, smoked or grilled fish, fried chicken, or Schnitzel. It also serves as a superb alternative to red wine when paired with roast fat duck and complements various Pan Asian cuisines beautifully. 🥂 Its inherent elegance and remarkable versatility make it a perfect choice for diverse occasions, from relaxed gatherings to more formal dining experiences, particularly those featuring seafood or Asian-inspired menus. It truly shines as a refined food wine.
