 Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 2/21/2010 & rated 90 points: Big and ripe wine, honey and petrol (very 2006), not a shadow of the magnificent 2005. (1481 views)
 Tasted by Zweder on 6/10/2009 & rated 90 points: Monthly Tasting Group HWS #037; Austria: Riesling (by EvA): Expressive perfumed bouquet. On the palate good and soft citrus acidity. A hint of sweetness and tropical fruits. A pleaser. Has enough acidity which all together makes it an excellent wine. (1786 views)

Loimer

Producer Website

Fred Loimer started working with his father Alfred in 1988 after completing his studies at Klosterneuburg with stints at Germany’s Nahe and Walter Schug winery in California. Fred took full control of his family’s estate in 1997 and purchased the cellar of the Haindorf Castle on the outskirts of Langenlois. He then constructed a hyper-modern black cube on top of the old cellar symbolizing his aesthetic for modern elegance. Fred began practicing biodynamics in 2006 and is a founding member of Respekt, a certifying body for biodynamic viticulture in Austria. His wines are among the very best examples of Grüner Veltliner and Riesling in the Kamptal. In 2002, he was named “Winemaker of the Year” by Austria's Falstaff wine magazine.

Lower Austria Wine Region

Lower Austria isn't "southern" Austria, but rather northeastern. It derives its name from its downriver location on the Danube River, which flows from west to east.
