Brndlmayer Pinot Noir

This Blauburgunder was made with the ripest Pinot Noir grapes, mainly from the top vineyards Dechant and Käferberg.

The Dechant vineyard site is comprised of calcareous loess-clay soil terraces on the south-east slope. On the higher terraces is the clay with ancient rock and gravel deposits.

The Käferberg vineyard site is located at the upper end of an eastern slope at about 300 meters above sea level – in the north of the town of Langenlois. Preserved calcareous, clayey marine deposits are found there.
This soil is similar to that of the famous Château Petrus in Pomerol, and produces an extremely dense wine. The top layer is made up of sand and primary rock.

A traditional vinification includes one and a half weeks maceration followed by maturation in 2 to 3 years old 300 liters Austrian oak barrels.

"This tastes like an excellent village wine form the Cote de Beaune in Burgundy. I love the maturing sour cherry and forest floor aromas of this elegant, medium-bodied pinot noir. Fine tannins and a touch of savory make this very enticing. Long, silky finish. From organically grown grapes. 35% whole cluster. Drink or hold."

"The 2019 Pinot Noir is from Ried Dechant, on loess underneath the Käferberg and Käferberg itself, planted to an estate massal selection planted in the 1990s. This was fermented with 30% whole-bunches and aged for 18 months in 300-liter barrels of French and Austrian oak (20% new). Supple red fruit is laid smoothly against chalkiness and soft oak. The palate red-fruited but comes with density and silky, almost juicy tannin. The key element of the wine, however, is bright freshness that outlines depth, contour and finesse. This displays a great combination of inner density and essential Pinot-lightness—beautiful and elegant. (Bone-dry)"
