NV Bründlmayer ‘Sekt’ Brut

Bründlmayer Sekt Brut is a traditional-method sparkling comprising Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Gruner Veltliner. The grapes are selected in September, when acidity and maturity have reached their perfect point for the base wine for our sparkling production. These grapes are sourced from different chalky parcels in our vineyards which lends the wine freshness and while most of the sites are southeast facing slopes, the wine also receives warmth. The harvested grapes are transported in small cases directly into the cellar, where they are very gently and carefully pressed.Only the heart of the must is used for the sparkling production. It ferments in stainless steel where it also undergoes malolactic conversion before being racked into used 300-litre (or 2500-litre) Austrian oak barrels with about 10% of the lees. Nuances of white bread, brioche and stewed apricot with generous fruit presence – and charm as well; considerable body, firm and open-hearted, very round and juicy, smooth yellow fruitiness, tingling and balanced, not too sweet, very beautiful filling.
