2022 Loimer Loiserberg Riesling Kamptal
Tax included.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Yellow hue with a greenish tint. Oily-textured tears.
Aroma
The nose releases fine scents of stone fruit and even fruitcake with vanilla sugar; with some air comes a ripe apricot aroma.
Palate
On the palate is a lively sweet & sour acidity play – with the acidity showing tightness and tension. The spicy and salty notes blend in with the clear-as-a-bell fruit tones, apricot compote, lime jelly, lemon sorbet and a hint of marjoram. Gorgeous concentration and length. An archetypal Riesling.
Vinification
Whole cluster pressing followed by spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks by 20° to 22° C for 4-6 weeks.
Maturation
Aged in stainless steel tanks on full lees for 6 months, on fine lees for further 4 months.
Vintage notes
Challenging and very different from the rest of Europe. The Kamptal was like an island of rain in a very dry 2022. After an exceptionally dry winter, the long-anticipated rain finally came in mid-April. In fact, by the time the harvest began, we already had as much rain in six months as there is normally during an entire year. However, the distribution was not always favourable. There were losses due to peronospora, especially with Grüner Veltliner. But as is often the case in such difficult years, the variety fortunately repaid with very good grape quality, thanks to the “natural” thinning out due to powdery mildew. August was dry, which brought excellent ripeness, though rain in September imposed yet another challenge at the beginning of the harvest.
