The Weingut Bründlmayer Riesling Heiligenstein Alte Reben 2015 is a flagship dry Riesling from Austria’s Kamptal region, crafted from old vines in the Heiligenstein vineyard by the Bründlmayer estate, a leader in Austrian winemaking. This 2015 vintage displays a bright gold hue and an intense nose of ripe apricot, lemon zest, and honey, with hints of petrol, wet stone, and subtle spice. The palate is rich and concentrated, with vibrant acidity, a creamy texture, and a long, mineral-driven finish with a touch of honeyed complexity. The old vines, some over 50 years, contribute depth and intensity, reflecting the sandstone-rich terroir. Fermented and aged in large Austrian oak casks, this wine showcases Bründlmayer’s meticulous approach. Perfect with lobster, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses, it offers a luxurious dining experience. Rated 96 points by Wine Advocate, it is at its peak but can evolve further over the next 8-12 years, developing richer tertiary notes. This Riesling is a collector’s gem, embodying Bründlmayer’s reputation for crafting iconic Austrian whites with elegance and power.
