Our Best Prosecco. For those who don't think Prosecco can be serious and fun at the same time.

Brundlmayer's 2020 Ried Heiligenstein 1OTW Kamptal Riesling is the only Heiligenstein shown here, so no Lyra and no Alte Reben, which I assume will be released a year later. The nose is very clear and bright in its aromas but still discreet in everything...
The Bründlmayer family owns 12 hectares right in the centre of the Zöbinger Heiligenstein. 10,5 hectares are planted with Riesling, the remainder for experimental purposes with Cabernet (mostly Cabernet Franc). About 20% of the vineyards are trained in the Lyra trellis system. The other Heiligenstein vines are raised by the traditional Guyot method with the berries hanging 50-60 centimeters above the ground. Thinning is done as required to restrict the average yield to 3500-4000 liters per hectare for this classic (Kamptal DAC) Version. Two Reserves from Heiligenstein (Lyra, Alte Reben) are used to be harvested later in the year.
