WINE DESCRIPTION

The Loimer Langenlois Käferberg is a distinguished white wine, typically a Grüner Veltliner, which hails from the prestigious Käferberg vineyard in Kamptal, Austria. Fred Loimer, a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in Austria, oversees a vineyard replete with old vines rooted in a mix of loess and primary rock soils. These conditions are ideal for expressing the varietal's distinctive peppery spice, minerality, and depth of flavor. The Käferberg Grüner Veltliner is meticulously produced with organic and biodynamic practices, highlighting the winemaker's commitment to sustainability and the expression of terroir. Careful aging in large wooden casks adds texture and complexity without overpowering the wine’s natural vibrancy.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Loimer Langenlois Käferberg dazzles with a luminous straw yellow color, suggesting richness and depth.The bouquet is intricate, unveiling layers of ripe orchard fruits, classic white pepper, and herbal undertones, indicative of the Grüner Veltliner grape. With aeration, the wine reveals a subtle smokiness and hints of wet stone, a nod to the Käferberg terroir. On the palate, it is both rich and precise, with a creamy yet energetic texture that carries flavors of ripe pear, yellow apple, and a touch of exotic spice. The wine's mineral core leads to a lengthy, complex finish that balances fruit intensity with refreshing acidity, making it a versatile partner to a wide array of cuisines.
