I tried this amazing deliciousness yesterday-- honeycomb, mushrooms, dried leaves, baked apples-- it was really an incredible experience.

Weingut Bründlemayer is located in the Kamptal region, and the winery produces some of the most beautiful wines coming out of Austria. More specifically, they are about 50 miles north-west of Vienna and situated along the Danube. The bread-and-butter of production, under the helm of Willi Bründlmayer, focuses on a selection of grüner veltliners, but they also produce riesling, pinot noir, chardonnay, zweigelt, St. Laurent, and pinot gris in style ranging from rose to sparkling.  From 75 hectares they produce about 23-30KK cases each year.   

Willi has an incredible focus on the ecological diversity in the vineyards-- the grape rows are terraced in an interesting fashion and he strives to maintain a balance of life on the land, making heavy use of cover crops.  He also rigorously selects bunches by hand and in small batches, and experiments with raising Sekt standards, and making marc and brandy. 

This 1983 is a selection of vine-dried botrytis-hit berries, fermented in oak.
