Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Straw-yellow in color, the 2015 Gruner Veltliner Vincents Spiegel 1OTW is Vincent Bründlmayer's interpretation of the cru. Fermented on the skins in an open wooden vat (just the final grams of residual sugar were fermented in stainless steel) and aged in 300-liter barrels for one year, Vincent's Spiegel offers a deep and rich nose with ripe fruit, smoky notes and a hint of caramel aromas. On the palate, this is a rich, intense, full-bodied and densely textured Grüner Veltliner with a firm (tannin) structure and a long and complex finish. Still terribly young and more built on structure and power than charm or fruit, this is a promising wine that needs several years to gain finesse and elegance. But isn't this the destiny of any good Montrachet as well? Bottled with 20 milligrams of sulfur (total).

The Weingut Bründlmayer is situated in Langenlois, some 70 km north-west of Vienna, upstream along the Danube in the Lower Austrian Kamp Valley. The wooded hills of the Waldviertel protect the vineyards from the cold north-westerly winds. During the day, the sun warms the stony terraces, while at night the fresh, fragrant forest air drifts through the Kamp Valley into the Langenlois Arena. The wines are characterised by a combination of hot days and cool nights, the meeting of the Danube and Kamp valleys, and the geological and climatic diversity of the vineyards.
The winery includes the family dwelling, a cellar equipped with best available technology and a heuriger which is open almost all year round and where all wines can be tasted in a convivial atmosphere. The family members and a committed, enthusiastic workforce devote care and attention to the vinification of the hand-picked grapes.
