Robert Parker

Stephan Reinhardt

The intensely golden-yellow colored 2019 Ried Käferberg 1ÖTW Kamptal Grüner Veltliner opens very intense and upfront on the nose yet without being overly fruity or at least primary fruity. However, this is a very specific, nowadays rather unusual style with rich and ripe, possibly botrytized fruit that is deep, intense, tangy and robust rather than refined on the yeasty nose or, in the best sense, rural, also due to some phenolic notes. The palate is full-bodied, rich, intense and creamy rather than crystalline in the first moment. However, this intense and powerful wine reveals fine crystalline and salty acidity along with seriously firm tannins that make this 2019 Käferberg an excellent choice for intensely spiced dishes. The wine remains robust and grippy on the finish, where it still reveals intensity, tension and structure. Surely not everybody's darling, especially not in context with other, more polished Kamptal Veltliners, but combined with the right dish this could be a perfect match not least due to its power and extracted phenolics. The wine was aged in large oak vats and bottled with 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2022.

Wine Spectator

Bruce Sanderson

The lush, round feel of this white is initially cut by vivid acidity, framing flavors of peach, citrus, savory herbs and celery root. Balanced, ending with spicy, savory, peppery elements. Drink now through 2024. 400 cases made, 10 cases imported.

James Suckling

Butterscotch is not my favorite gruner veltliner aroma and this wine has a stack of it in the nose. Much better on the palate with impressive structure and well-judged tannins that support the medium-full body nicely. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Description

The complexity and aromatic richness of a Lower Austrian white wine by Loimer

The estate

Forming one with the owner, Fred Loimer, the Loimer estate has become a reference in the world of wine. Modern and innovative, this winegrower who respects nature by always putting an emphasis on carrying out manual harvesting and following the requirements of biodynamic viticulture to a tee. Instilling a low interventionist policy in the cellar, he uses only the quality of his grapes to produce fine Austrian wines with a unique character. The wines from the Loimer estate reflect the uniqueness of the complex Kamptal terroir as well as the passion and patience of a skilful and talented winemaker.

The vineyard

This Grüner Veltliner Ried Käferberg 2019 from the Kamptal DAC appellation (equivalent to the AOP appellation level) is a Kamptal wine that stems from the Langenlois Käferberg vineyard. This plot is located between 310 and 345 metres above sea level and is characterised as one of the region's typical terroirs. Enjoying a continental climate that is both hot during the day and cold at night, the soil is composed of clay and sandy. The vines are between 15 and 55 years old and benefit from the estate's organic and biodynamic viticultural practices.

The wine

The estate's very plain label portrays an intriguing little logo. It is in fact a Polynesian symbol that refers to fertility, a subtle reference to biodynamics and the idea that Nature is a living being.

Vinification and ageing

A rigorous sorting of the grapes is carried out during the harvest in order to keep only the high-quality grapes. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels for 4 weeks at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees. The wine is aged on its lees for 11 months in oak barrels and then aged for 9 months in steel tanks.
