Ried Loiserberg Grüner Veltliner 1.ÖTW Kamptal DAC 2022

Wine description for Ried Loiserberg Grüner Veltliner 1.ÖTW Kamptal DAC 2022 from Loimer

Colour & appearance

Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections, clear and brilliant in the glass. The transparency already reveals the cool origin of this precise Veltliner.

Nose

One Crystalline clarity dominates the bouquet. Delicate notes of white pepper, unripe pear and lemongrass slowly unfold. With a little air, hints of meadow herbs, wet stone and a hint of green apple join in - a typical fingerprint of the Loiserberg with its barren, primary rock terroir.

Palate

The palate reveals the true strength of this wine: taut, focussed and with a razor-sharp acidity structure that perfectly balances the moderate alcohol content of 12.5%. The minerality shines through like sunlight on a mountain stream - not intrusive, but unmistakably present. The medium body carries notes of citrus fruit, white stone fruit and that characteristic spiciness that only Grüner Veltliner can deliver with such precision. The finish is long, salty and of remarkable purity.

General information

Fred Loimer's biodynamically cultivated plots on the Loiserberg - classified as Erste Lage (1st ÖTW) - produce a Veltliner that perfectly captures the coolness and precision of the Kamptal. The 2022 vintage shows balanced ripeness without losing the freshness that is so important for the Kamptal.

Food pairing suggestions

An ideal companion to Wiener Schnitzel with its play of acidity and fat, but equally harmonious with Grilled sea bass with lemon butter. The mineral component also makes it the perfect partner for Oysters or Sashimi. Vegetarian dishes such as Asparagus with hollandaise or Goat's cheese tart benefit from its structured elegance.

Special features

This wine is a Prime example of terroir-influenced Grüner Veltliner from the Kamptal. The barren bedrock of the Loiserberg with its gneiss and mica schist soils lends the wine an unmistakable minerality and tension. Loimer's biodynamic approach and his deep understanding of geological contexts make this wine an authentic ambassador of its origins - precise, never loud, but with a clear voice.
