Grüner Veltliner "Lois", Loimer, Langenlois Kamptal, AT, 2017

Fred Loimer started working with his father Alfred in 1988 after completing his studies at Klosterneuburg with stints in Germanys Nahe and Walter Schug winery in California. Fred took full control of his familys 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 Grner Veltliner and Riesling in the Kamptal. In 2002, he was named Winemaker of the Year by Austria's Falstaff wine magazine.
