For the fourth consecutive time, the Kamptal winery Willi Bründlmayer was chosen as "W&S Import Winery of the Year" by the US magazine Wine & Spirits.
Willi Bründlmayer, Austria´s wine producer par excellence, is honoured frequently, at home and abroad, and has been chosen into the world elite this year as well.
The wines tasted made the panel swoon, writers editor T. Q. Thomas in her portrait of the Langenlois producer. Wines such as these "have helped to create Austrian wines cultlike following."
Bründlmayer´s Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, as well as the sparkling wine and Pinot noir, are mentioned specifically, and his intelligent use of natural resources is praised. The article notes that every wine "offers a personality so individual that could convince even a non-believer that a wine can express a sense of place. Each Bründlmayer wine is an exploration of a place and a time not to mention a damn good drink that will last for years, if you can wait that long."
" Every respected title helps, also awards of our fellows like Luis Kracher show that Austria´s reputation is rising in the US, comments Willi Bründlmayer, "and that in turn is translated into export figures." |
