Langenlois Grosse Reserve Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature 2014

Actually, Fred Loimer should be a geologist by profession. The terroir he cultivates in the Kamptal and the Thermenregion is so diverse that one could easily lose track of it all. The winery is located in Langenlois, the central municipality in the growing region. In the northern part, the Bohemian Massif dominates with gneiss and mica schist, and in the Heiligenstein also sandstone. Towards the Pannonian Basin, the rocks have often been covered by metres of ice-age loess, and towards the Danube one finds thick gravel terraces of the Urdonau. It is a real pleasure to compare the different Grüner Veltliners or to taste the three top vineyard Rieslings side by side. In Gumpoltskirchen, the wines show how similar the Thermenregion is to Burgundy. All the wines, no matter from which terroir, are always authentic, profound and complex, yet never fat or loud.
