Bründlmayer Langenlois Lamm Grüner Veltliner Reserve

Kamptal, Austria

About this product

The Kamptal's reference Grüner Veltliner — Lamm ('lamb') is a south-facing slope above Langenlois on loess-over-primary rock soils, producing GV of white pepper intensity and mineral precision. Bründlmayer's Lamm is the wine that moved Grüner Veltliner from wine-list curiosity to sommelier staple: at 13+ % ABV, fully dry, with the distinctive rotundone-driven white pepper signature amplified by loess minerality, it demonstrates what GV achieves at the apex of quality. An essential reference wine for Austrian wine education.
