Loimer
A black cube rises from the vineyards of Langenlois – minimalist, almost provocative. Only someone who knows that true complexity lies beneath the earth builds like this: in 150-year-old loess cellars and in soils that offer everything from primordial rock to volcanic stone. The Loimer winery in Kamptal ranks among Austria's most influential estates. Fred Loimer, who took over in 1998, has left his mark here not only architecturally but also viticulturally: as co-founder of respekt-BIODYN, he drives forward the biodynamic movement – stricter than Demeter, more uncompromising in its demands. His Grüner Veltliner and Riesling from the premier vineyard sites Heiligenstein, Käferberg and Loiserberg demonstrate what terroir precision means.

More about Loimer
The Architect of Terroir
Fred Loimer should really be a geologist. The Kamp Valley, which he works, is a patchwork of bedrock, loess and volcanic relics. Cool air from the Waldviertel flows through the Kamp Valley from the north, Pannonian warmth presses in from the south. The result: temperature amplitudes unlike anywhere else in Austria – perfect for aroma-intensive grapes. Fred harnesses this diversity with surgical precision. His Ried Heiligenstein Riesling grows on volcanic quartz porphyry and red sandstone, the Ried Käferberg Grüner Veltliner on weathered bedrock. Same hand, completely different wines.
Respect Instead of Dogma
In 2006, Fred Loimer switched to biodynamic viticulture. A year later, he founded respekt-BIODYN with colleagues – a certification that mattered more to him than the Demeter seal. The difference? respekt-BIODYN demands not only biodynamic work in the vineyard, but also quality standards in the cellar. No arbitrariness, no excuses. The wines tell the story: precise, clear, with a minerality that recalls wet limestone. The Grüner Veltliner from the Kamp Valley shows its most elegant side here – far removed from peppery clichés.
When Bubbles Write History
Since 2013, Loimer has produced sparkling wine using the traditional method. The breakthrough came quickly: Sparkling Wine of the Year 2023 at Gault&Millau for the Langenlois Große Reserve Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature. Long ageing on lees, no dosage sugar – purism you can taste. In Gumpoldskirchen, where Fred took over the Schellmann winery in 2004, he experiments with Blanc de Noirs from St. Laurent and Pinot Noir. The thermal spa region with its chalky soils reminds him of Burgundy – except that here nobody demands hundreds of thousands for a bottle. The Brut Rosé Reserve brings this Burgundian finesse with delicate salmon hue into the glass.
Enjoy with Care
The "with CARE" line is Loimer's playground for natural wines: spontaneous fermentation, extended skin contact, no additives. The name is half ironic, half serious – a warning to all who understand wine only as a pleasant drink. Those who love risk will find drops with character and edge here. Those who prefer it more classical reach for the vineyard wines. Both worlds show the same winemaker: one who tests boundaries but never loses the ground beneath his feet. Similarly uncompromising is Tement in South Styria – a worthy neighbour in spirit.
