Beschreibung

Product description for Loimer Ried Käferberg Grüner Veltliner 1.ÖTW DAC 2022 (bio)

The Käferberg vineyard is a warm, wind-protected site at 310 to 345 meters above sea level with a south-southeast exposure and diverse soils on a diverse rock substratum. Old, crystalline rocks such as amphibolites, gneiss, and mica schist alternate in close proximity with much younger clay marl, sand, and rare gravel. The grapes were selectively harvested by hand in early to mid-September and until mid-October. The whole clusters underwent a 24-hour maceration period before the must was spontaneously fermented in 1,250- and 2,500-liter barrels. After four weeks of fermentation, the unsulphured wine was aged on the full lees for eleven months in oak barrels. After racking in September 2022, it was aged on the fine lees in steel tanks for a further eight months. Bottled unfiltered in August 2024.

Colour

Rich straw yellow.

Nose

The 2022 Grüner Veltliner from the Käferberg vineyard exudes its concentrated fragrance with perfect generosity: yellow stone fruit, yellow apples, and small, fluffy quinces fill its fruit basket. Added to this are netted melon and sugared apricot pancakes. Notes of white pepper, a touch of citrus, and cedar follow in the overtones. Oregano and light lactic nuances bring the wine to life.

Palate

Super juicy and dense on the palate with a viscous melt and creamy texture. Solid bass with decent mid-palate power. Rich in extract with juicy fruit, the stone fruit notes are reflected and underpinned by fine baked goods with plenty of salt and lard. Once again white pepper with its citrus and cedar notes as well as finely spicy herbal notes in the minerally cool finish with respectable length.
