Wine Info

Challenging and very different from the rest of Europe. The Kamptal was the “rain island” in this dry year of 2022. After an exceptionally dry winter, the long-awaited rain arrived in mid-April. At the beginning of the harvest, we had as much rain in 6 months as we normally get in the whole year. Unfortunately, the distribution was not always favorable, and so there were losses due to downy mildew, especially in Grüner Veltliner. As is often the case in such difficult years, the variety then responded with very good grape quality thanks to the “natural” thinning of the mildew. A dry August brought excellent ripeness, while a rainy September again presented a challenge at the beginning of the harvest. (Fred Loimer)

Nose

The nose of the 2022 Riesling Ried Loiserberg 1.ÖTW Riesling Kamptal displays immense freshness of green apple, lime, and grapefruit, blended with lemon balm, elderflower, and dried ginger. An extremely multifaceted aroma underpinned by a compact and intense minerality.

Palate

What a vibrant freshness on the palate, stimulating acidity meets plenty of juicy fruit and a finely chiseled salty and mineral note. This wine practically floats over the tongue; you can’t seem to get enough of it. A dreamy pairing with a cuisine that seems as vibrant and multifaceted as the wine itself. Very good development potential, a delicate long-distance runner.
