Tasting note
- Colour & appearance
- Intense straw yellow with a subtle haze — a wine that has nothing to hide and makes this clear right from the glass.
- Nose
- Yellow-fruited and expansive: ripe yellow and red apples meet medlars and mirabelles. Beneath lies a herbal-spicy carpet of sage and chervil, flanked by restrained yeasty notes — a bouquet that smiles rather than poses.
- Palate
- Juicy on entry, then tightly drawn: a firmly laced phenolic corset, finely bitter tannins and ripe acidity keep the distinctly tart fruit in check. Everything is precisely where it should be — rapid drinking pleasure from the genre of everyday, guilt-free joys.
- Finish
- Dry, herbal-spicy and with noticeable grip — the fine bitterness of the tannins lingers pleasantly on the palate and whets the appetite for food.
- Terroir & origin
- From the Kamptal near Langenlois, where Fred Loimer works a geological mosaic of primary rock, loess and volcanic relics. Cool Waldviertel air from the north meets Pannonian warmth from the south — temperature amplitudes unmatched anywhere else in Austria, ideal for highly aromatic grapes.
- Grape variety & vinification
- An unusual cuvée of Chardonnay, Riesling and Zierfandler at 12 % ABV, vinified dry. The pronounced haze and yeasty notes point to a gentle, hands-on approach in the cellar — entirely in the spirit of Loimer’s playground for wines with an edge.
- Food recommendations
- A wine for the table, not the display cabinet: lamb’s lettuce with apples and nuts mirrors the fruit, brown bread with peppered mackerel catches the tart spice, and a sandwich with cold roast meat and pumpkin seed pesto finds its perfect counterpoint in the acid structure.
- Special features
- Loimer is regarded as an architect of terroir: co-founder of respekt-BIODYN, farming biodynamically since 2006. Gluegglich is the relaxed side of this rigorous estate — a cuvée featuring Zierfandler that deliberately swings against classical vineyard-site orthodoxy, proving that seriousness and light-heartedness are no contradiction.
