Grüner Veltliner, Kamtal - 2007 - Fred Loimer
Ref: A097107
Ripe and fruit driven but terrifically balanced.

Situated in the home of Grüner Veltliner at Langenlois, Fred Loimer is meticulous when it comes to ensuring that his grapes have achieved full ripeness but is also a great believer in not leaving great dollops of residual sugar in his wines by fermenting out completely dry, thereby ensuring that they are ideal accompaniments to food, something that some Austrian producers have recently ignored. This is a complex estate covering 21 hectares of vineyard in the Kamp Valley , split in to 35 separate parcels, planted on seven different soil-types. Situated at an altitude of between 220 and 350 metres above sea level, the south facing vineyards benefit from warm days and cool nights, resulting in grapes with excellent aromatics and balance. The Grüner Veltliner is generally harvested at the end of October, is stainless steel fermented which allows the purity of its fruit to dominate.

Fred Loimer developed his passion for viticulture very early. From the very beginning, he wanted to be a winemaker.
“At this time, I was already dreaming of producing only premium quality wines,” says Loimer. “My wines should mirror myself and the Kamptal.”

Although Fred Loimer has joined the ranks of Austrians best wine producers, he still is for many an undiscovered secret! Year after year, he impresses with his benchmark Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, which reflect high quality as well as the terroir and special microclimates of the Kamptal. When it comes to producing wine, the cool climate is certainly one of Fred Loimers biggest challenges.

“There is not one year that’s similar to another. Here in the Kamptal, we always have to adjust to changing conditions.“
