Weingut Loimer Grüner Veltliner Langenloiser 2022
Kamptal, Niederösterreich, Weinland Österreich, AustriaFrom vineyards in the village of Langenlois, this Grüner Veltliner is from vines 20-50 years, and a mix of loess, sandy clays, and gneiss on mostly terraced vineyards. This was whole cluster pressed with partial maceration before a native ferment in primarily stainless, with 30% seeing time in used large oak barrels. Post ferment, this rested in stainless on fine lees for 5 months. Tight lemongrass, lemon verbena rule this streamlined white, with a light white honey sheen over river stones. This trails long with crystalline lemon and light salinity. Great energy here.Tasted: 11 November 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $35.00 | 750ml | consignment |
