ABOUT THIS WINE
The Loimer Käferberg Grüner Veltliner 2022 is a 1ÖTW (Erste Lage) DAC wine from the Kamptal region of Lower Austria. Weingut Loimer, under Fred Loimer's direction, is known for its commitment to biodynamic farming and producing wines that express their terroir. The Käferberg vineyard is a key factor in the wine's character, benefiting from a specific microclimate and a diverse soil composition that includes ancient crystalline rocks, amphibolites, gneiss, mica schist, clay marl, sand, and gravel. The 2022 vintage presented unique challenges due to variable weather patterns during the growing season and harvest.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Loimer Käferberg Grüner Veltliner 2022 begins with a 24-hour maceration period. Fermentation is spontaneous, with a portion in stainless steel tanks and another in large oak barrels. The wine then undergoes extended aging on lees, first in oak barrels for 11 months and subsequently in steel tanks for an additional eight months. Finally, the wine is bottled unfiltered. Biodynamic farming practices are employed in the vineyard, and the harvest is conducted through selective hand-picking.
