Brut Rosé Reserve 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Brut Rosé Reserve 1500ml Magnum by Loimer

Character

Fred Loimer counts among the pioneers of Austrian sparkling wine and demonstrates impressively with this Brut Rosé Reserve his mastery of traditional bottle fermentation. The magnum bottle is no mere gimmick, but a deliberate choice: in this format, sparkling wine matures more slowly and harmoniously. The moderate alcohol content of 11.5% vol. underscores the philosophy of an elegant, approachable sparkling wine that prioritises finesse over power.

Terroir & Origin

The Kamptal is primarily known for its great Grüner Veltliners and Rieslings, yet the cooler vineyard sites also offer ideal conditions for Pinot Noir and Zweigelt. The Pannonian influences from the east meet the cooling winds from the Waldviertel – an interplay that produces grapes with precise acidity and delicate aromatics. Loimer manages his vineyards biodynamically, which is reflected in the vibrancy and authenticity of his wines.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The cuvée from Pinot Noir and Zweigelt combines international finesse with Austrian fruitiness. Pinot Noir brings structure, elegance and the typical red berry complexity, whilst Zweigelt scores with its juicy cherry fruit and accessibility. The traditional bottle fermentation using the Champagne method and the extended ageing on lees, which the term „Reserve“ suggests, lend the sparkling wine depth, creamy texture and that subtle yeast note which simple sparkling wines cannot achieve. The dosage remains restrained – a Brut that lets the fruit and terroir speak for themselves.

Food Pairing Suggestions

This rosé sparkling wine is a versatile companion for modern cuisine. Perfect with salmon carpaccio, vitello tonnato or sushi. The magnum bottle makes it ideal for festive occasions: with pan-fried prawns, veal schnitzel or a summery strawberry dessert. The combination of freshness and substance also makes it an excellent aperitif for longer evenings.
