Bründlmayer Description
The Lamm vineyard has a soil of chalky clay and loess on siltstone. It is a south facing slope bordering the east of the “Heiligenstein” – one of the warmest sites in our wine growing area.
Grapes from this site reach a high degree of ripeness and concentration, which bring a generous expression more generally associated with Burgundy varieties. While “Lamm” is the quintessence of a monumental Grüner Veltliner, it abandons the lightness and prickle that Grüner Veltliner usually stands for.
Wine Advocate: 95+ Points
The intensely yellow colored 2019 Ried Lamm 1ÖTW Kamptal Grüner Veltliner is deep, refined and pure on the very complex and intense nose that reveals a potpourri of aromas, including dried fruits, honey bread and flint stones. Pure, round, intense and salty on the palate, this a rich and powerful, tight and grippy Lamm that needs lots of time to start singing. Despite several tries in summer and autumn this year, I can't really articulate the true character of the 2019, which is quite ripe on the one hand but without the mineral, tension and vitality of the Käferberg or even the Langenloiser Alte Reben, yet there are some fights in the depth that probably need an outcome for a better performance. So for now, the finish is tight and almost a bit astringent and still doesn't sing or, at least, indicate anything but reasonable hope for a better future.
