Enthusiastic craftsmanship and sensual roots describe the Karl Brindlmayer winery very well. After years of focusing on an academic career while supporting the family winery, Karl Brindlmayer returned to his roots. With enthusiasm, he is responsible for his first vintages in the sixth generation. The family has been based on the farm, which was first mentioned in a document in 1557, since 1833 and sees the "Sustainable Austria" certification as a way of life.
Last but not least, the wines in producer bottling continue to be created in a resource-conserving manner in the farm's own old wine cellar.
The winemaker proves that excellence can be achieved off the beaten path. Like all reserve wines, the traditional brand "Brigos" is intended to embody power according to the ancient Celtic meaning of the word, but also not to be cheeky.
After a long period of ageing as "Great Reserve", the tension between power and expressiveness is harmoniously resolved. Over decades, the family built up a diverse range of area and varietal-typical classics, as well as distinctive site wines such as "Rosengarten", "Sonnleithen" and "Bergen". In addition to the Danube influence and microclimatic subtleties, these terraced vineyards are characterised by calcareous soils, sometimes deep loess, and conglomerate with sandstone and marl, while on the east side of the Traisen, cooler hilly sites convey a fresh wine character.
With these sensual roots, each wine is intended to make the enthusiastic winemaker's craft perceptible to a wide audience. The current manager, who has meanwhile made the family brand more than just nationally known, has succeeded very well in doing so, as the one or other glass of Brindlmayer wine has already enchanted the senses of many a wine lover at the "Grote Markt" in Antwerp, or on a business class flight to Montreal.
Year after year the declared goal is to produce distinctive and at the same time accessible wines with character of provenance, which exude charm and speak for themselves. The winemaking family looks back on many awards, while the current successes, such as a state winner and also a second place in the "Falstaff Traisental DAC Cup" 2023, speak for the right path of the "Next Generation". The new tasting ambience at the winery is another step into the future.
