Winemaker Notes
A perfect partner with cold cuts or fish like trout; also good with veal and ambitious chicken dishes.

Wine Enthusiast
Yeasty creaminess plays on the nose of this wine while leafy, herbal overtones create allure. The palate wraps this all into a concentrated, fresh, taut bundle of savoriness and lemon freshness. It has verve, drive and a wonderfully yeasty, peppery finish.

Fred Loimer started working with his father Alfred in 1988 after completing his studies at Klosterneuburg with stints at Germany’s Nahe and Walter Schug winery in California. Fred took full control of his family’s estate in 1997 and purchased the cellar of the Haindorf Castle on the outskirts of Langenlois. He then constructed a hyper-modern black cube on top of the old cellar symbolizing his aesthetic for modern elegance. Fred began practicing biodynamics in 2006 and is a founding member of Respekt, a certifying body for biodynamic viticulture in Austria. His wines are among the very best examples of Grüner Veltliner and Riesling in the Kamptal. In 2002, he was named “Winemaker of the Year” by Austria's Falstaff wine magazine.
