James Suckling: Österreichs feines Gespür für die Reben
An der Spitze des jüngsten James Suckling Verkostungsberichts mit 715 Weinen aus vier Ländern, stehen 2 österreichische Weingüter. Für das Kamptal hebt Chefredakteur Jacobo García-Andrade das Weingut Bründlmayer hervor, für die Wachau Veyder-Malberg. Sie überzeugten als Musterbeispiele für die sorgfältige, immer um Verbesserung bemühte Arbeit in Österreichs Weinbergen und die durchdachte Weinbereitung die hinter einigen der besten Weine des Landes stehen. Österreich fühlt die Vibes seiner Reben (‚Austria feels the Vine Vibes‘) titelt der JS Weekly Report.
Dementsprechend erfreulich lesen sich die Bewertungen. Hierein Auszug:

Bründlmayer Charonnay Kamptal Ried Steinberg 2024
Score: 96
Fine aromas of cream, toast, attractive reduction, popcorn, flint, nougat, lemon curd, almonds and melon. Taut and almost full-bodied, with tangy, saline flavors and a lasting finish. Dry and quite compact and concentrated. A toasty but integrated Burgundian style from a slightly cooler site. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but even better in two or three years.
