The wine

Golden in colour, with ripe golden apple, orange zest, salted almonds and a touch of white pepper.

Käferberg is an Erste Lage, the Austrian first growth classification, and Grüner Veltliner from these older terraced sites gains real weight without losing its pepper. The Kamp valley runs between the warm Pannonian plain and the cold Waldviertel, the forest quarter, and that meeting of warm days and cold nights is what gives Kamptal whites their aromatic lift and their acidity.

The producer

Loimer

View all Loimer wines

Fred Loimer is one of Austria's leading growers, farming 80 hectares around Langenlois in the sunny Kamptal. He took over the family winery in 1997 after gaining experience in Germany's Nahe and the Napa Valley.

Unlike producers who prize sweeter styles, Loimer seeks full ripeness in the vineyard then ferments fully dry, giving wines of citrus zest, minerality and balance. The estate has farmed biodynamically since 2006, and Fred co founded the Respekt biodynamic association.

The range runs from vibrant Kamptal Grüner Veltliner and Riesling to structured Erste Lage single vineyard wines such as Käferberg, Steinmassl and Loiserberg, alongside fine traditional method sparkling.

Pure, mineral and precise, Loimer's wines are among Austria's finest. They combine ripe fruit with dry, saline tension. This is Kamptal white and sparkling at the very top level.
