Loimer's 2022 Riesling from Langenlois sings with peach, apricot, and stone fruit. Initially reserved, it opens beautifully with air to reveal lemon jelly and a distinctive salinity. The balance of gentle fruit sweetness and lively acidity makes this a crystalline expression of biodynamic viticulture that drinks straight and true.
Winemaker Notes
Bright yellow hue and pronounced tears. A fine bouquet with aromas of peach puree, apricot and a hint of vanilla. Initially reserved, the wine opens with air and exudes charming stone fruit and lemon jelly notes. Gentle fruit sweetness, lively acidity and distinctive saltiness. Straightforward, crystal clear and full-bodied with a fine, racy texture and a delicate citrus finish. Refreshing and lengthy. Excellent price-pleasure ratio.

Wine SpectatorA perfectly ripe version, with zesty peach and pear set against a vibrant mineral layer and flecked with savory notes of fennel, thyme, chrysanthemum and chalk. Firms up nicely on the well-meshed, briny finish. Drink now through 2031. 840 cases made, 240 cases imported.
About the Producer
Renowned Austrian winemaker Fred Loimer comes from a long-established Langenlois winegrowing family – where Fred was involved in winemaking from a young age. The Loimer winery resides on 70 hectares (172 acres) in Langenlois, the capital of the Kamptal winegrowing region of Austria, located in the northeast part of the country. In 1998 Fred took over the winery from his father and was ready to follow his path, outside of the traditional, long-standing ways.
