Riesling Kamptal DAC 2024

Wine Description for Riesling Kamptal DAC 2024 by Loimer

Colour & Appearance

Radiant, vibrant golden yellow – a wine that radiates energy even in the glass.

Nose

The nose seduces with classic Kamptal precision: poached pear, ripe apricot and fresh quince form a juicy fruit profile, underpinned by crisp citrus. With a little air, delicate notes of almond and a hint of anise emerge – an inviting, multi-layered aromatics that whets the appetite.

Palate

Lively, fresh and strikingly direct. The juicy fruit from the nose continues seamlessly, carried by a precise, invigorating acidity and a fine, mineral salinity that makes the drinking experience irresistible. Light-footed at merely 11.5% vol. – a Riesling that holds charm and substance in perfect balance.

Finish

Medium length, fresh and characterised by pleasant juiciness. The salinity fades elegantly and inevitably leaves you wanting the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

The Kamptal combines geological diversity in the tightest of spaces: Gföhler gneiss and brown earth alternate with ice-age loess as well as clay and gravel soils. The climate is shaped by the interplay of Pannonian heat and cool winds from the Waldviertel – thermal tension that promotes both ripeness and freshness, giving the Riesling its characteristic vibrancy.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Riesling, selectively hand-harvested in 20-kg crates – from late September to mid-October 2024. Partly whole-bunch pressing, short skin contact time of maximum four hours. Spontaneous fermentation in steel tank at controlled cool temperatures, followed by ageing on full lees until January 2025, storage on fine lees until bottling in February 2025. A wine made with meticulous craftsmanship that puts purity and authenticity centre stage.

Food Pairing Recommendations

A natural table companion. Excellent with pan-fried zander or trout on a bed of vegetables, equally with Wiener Schnitzel, asparagus dishes or a classic Liptauer with bread. The lively acidity makes it the ideal partner for Asian cuisine with subtle spicing.

Special Features

Loimer counts among the most reliable addresses in the Kamptal – organically farmed, consistently focused on expression and origin. This entry-level Riesling impressively demonstrates that accessibility and depth are not a contradiction. A wine for every evening – and for more than one bottle.
