Loimer Rose 2017 750 ML

Clear, bright and decidedly pink with a fine and persistent mousse. A delicate nose of wildflowers, fresh strawberries and bay leaf is framed by gentle spice. Producer Information Loimer is an Austrian producer in the Kamptal region of Niederösterreich, in Austria. It is particularly known for its bright, vibrant Grüner Veltliner and Riesling wines, which account for more than three quarters of production. The estate also works with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Rotgipfler and Zweigelt. The estate was founded in 1964, and has been run by Fred Loimer Jr. since 1998. The vineyards owned or managed by Loimer total around 80 hectares (200 acres) and are found on a variety of Kamptal's soils: loess, loam, gneiss and gravel. The single-vineyard estate wines are sourced from older vineyards farmed under biodynamic principles since 2006. Since 1999, the wines have been vinified and aged under ideal climatic conditions in a historic vaulted cellar in the vineyards between Langenlois and Zöbing. Annual production amounts to around 600,000 bottles per year.
