WINE MAKING PROCESS
LOIS Grüner Veltliner is produced by Weingut Loimer GmbH using 100% Grüner Veltliner grapes. The winemaking process emphasizes natural methods and preserving freshness. Fermentation is initiated spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, primarily in stainless steel tanks to maintain the wine's vibrant fruit profile. A portion of the wine may undergo fermentation in used oak barrels depending on the vintage. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its fine lees for several months, which contributes to its texture and complexity. Grapes are hand-harvested into small crates to ensure quality. The Loimer estate is committed to biodynamic and organic farming practices.
