2022 Loimer "Lois" Gruner Veltliner, Niederösterreich, Austria
ABOUT THIS WINE
“Lois” is Fred Loimer’s entry-level Grüner Veltliner, designed to express the pure, unadulterated character of Austria’s signature grape. Sourced from certified organic vineyards in and around Langenlois in the Kamptal region, the grapes benefit from cool nights and warm days that help preserve acidity and aromatic intensity. The soils are a mix of loess, clay, and primary rock, contributing both freshness and structure.
Harvested by hand, the wine is gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain its natural vibrancy. No oak is used, and minimal intervention in the cellar ensures a wine that is true to variety and place. The 2022 vintage is especially lively, reflecting a relatively cool and balanced growing season.
Versatile and invigorating, “Lois” is ideal with salads, vegetable-based dishes, seafood, or Asian-inspired fare. It also excels as a refreshing aperitif.
