Muskateller mit ACHTUNG 2022

Wine Description for Muskateller with ACHTUNG 2022 by Loimer

Colour & Appearance

Luminous golden yellow with delicate, natural cloudiness – a sign of unfiltered, artisanal winemaking. Light suspended particles bear witness to the authenticity of this wine.

Nose

An aromatic fireworks display that is second to none. Initially lemon and grapefruit dominate with their citrus-fresh intensity, before the characteristic muscat character emerges – amplified by rose blossom and lychee. Exotic notes of preserved pineapple and peach practically leap from the glass. The spicy component – white pepper, allspice, clove – lends complexity, whilst lily and acacia soothe. Herbal notes of parsley, chervil and lemon balm provide lightness, a hint of hazelnut sets a distinctive accent.

Palate

Surprisingly clear and restrained, the Muskateller presents itself on the palate – not wild, but must-charming with forceful presence. Fine tannins structure the wine without dominating. The fruit now becomes distinctly more local: apple and pear at various stages of ripeness define the flavour profile. A cooling, ethereal freshness emerges, the floral notes become more subtle. The wine feels open and approachable – an uncomplicated pleasure.

Finish

The aftertaste is characterised by orange and mandarin peel – herbaceous-fresh and refreshing. At just 10.5% alcohol, it remains featherlight and invigorating.

Terroir & Origin

Hailing from the Kamptal, this Muskateller benefits from the cool nights and pannonian climate influence of the region. Fred Loimer is counted among the pioneers of biodynamic viticulture in Austria.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Made entirely from Gelber Muskateller, bottled unfiltered. The name „with ACHTUNG“ refers to the sprightly, lively character of this wine – a deliberately light-footed, quaffable style.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Perfect with Asian cuisine, particularly Thai curries or Vietnamese summer rolls. Also an excellent choice with asparagus dishes, goat’s cheese or fish ceviche. Unbeatable as an aperitif.

Special Features

At just 10.5% alcohol, a prime example of the modern movement towards lighter, more elegant wines. The natural vinification with cloudiness underscores Loimer’s philosophy of minimal intervention.
