WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2022 Loimer Kamptal Grüner Veltliner is produced using spontaneous fermentation, with a majority of the wine fermenting in stainless steel tanks (70-95%) and a smaller portion in large wooden barrels (5-30%). Following fermentation, the wine typically ages on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks for 3 to 5 months. Some specific cuvées may see a small percentage aged in neutral oak barrels. Harvest for the 2022 vintage occurred from mid-September to mid-October, following a growing season marked by higher rainfall but good late-season ripeness. Weingut Loimer employs certified biodynamic farming practices.
