Austrian white wine Bründlmayer Riesling Steinmassel comes from Weingut Bründlmayer which is situated in Langenlois, about 70 km north-west of Vienna, upstream along the Danube in the Lower Austrian Kamp Valley.
Tasted wine consists of RIESLING (100 %); surprise, names can tell sometimes you something 🙂
Usually rieslings from Austria are luscious, enough dry and full-bodied. Favourites of ours in addition to Germans.
THE LOOK
Color of the wine was pale yellow with tint of light green. Actual look was a little bit greener than in photo below.
THE NOSE
First it was difficult to find scent of riesling. Wine was stored in fridge and therefore too cold. After a while could find it and also some fruity with hint of green apple. But scent of riesling was not so strong as in many Austrian riesling wines.
THE TASTE
First impression was lackluster but after few sips it improved; again too cold wine. Less acidity, petrol and minerals than in typical Austrian rieslings, but of course could be indentified.

This riesling suites well with whitefish, which is mild and non-greasy (see recipe via link below), which we had for dinner. If food is more spicy you might want to buy a wine with a little bit more intense flavour. Also prefer better balanced wines for aperitif.
REVIEW: OVERALL GRADE 3,5/5 – BANG FOR THE BUCK ++/+++
