Weingut Loimer Extra Brut Reserve NV
Founded in 1962 by Fred Loimer. He studied winemaking at Klosterneuburg followed by stints in Germany’s Nahe and the Walter Schug winery in California. In 1997 Fred returned to his family’s estate, and in 1998 purchased the former cellar of the Haindorf Castle. Fred constructed a hyper-modern black cube on top of the old cellar symbolizing his aesthetic for modern elegance, an aesthetic that is also reflected in his wines. Fred began practicing biodynamics in 2006 and is a founding member of Respekt. a certifying body for biodynamic viticulture in Austria.
Tasting notes
Méthode Champenoise. Inviting foam profile and fine bubbles, wafting with notes of yeast dough, dumplings and dried dates. A mouth-filling sparkler with fine mousse, giving tones of apple strudel and lemon cake; bone dry with crisp acidity; pronounced, vibrant and vital with a long lemony finish. A top quality sparkling wine that develops superbly in the glass.
