Grüner Veltliner Kamptal
Carrying on his family's winemaking tradition, after studying oenology at Austria’s Klosterneuburg University and working in Germany and Napa, he took over the winery from his father in 1997. His 80 hectares of vineyards began conversion to biodynamics in 2006, and all are certified today. Unlike most of his peers, Fred vinifies his wine to dryness, like this concentrated, stony, older vine grüner from vineyard around Langenlois, growing on loess and gneiss soils at 200-400m. Predominantly fermented and aged in large stainless tanks (5% in large oak barrels), this rested 4 months on lees before blending and bottling. Juicy pink grapefruit, lime zest, honeycrisp apple floods the palate, dusted with white pepper, and finishing with a grapefruit twist. A friendly, smart white and excellent introduction to Kamptal and Loimer. *New label this vintage.
"Unequivocally classic grüner veltliner the way it must be, spirit and energy first, an imagined spritz next and mineral swaths on top of fruit throughout the entirety of the experience. The definition of crisp, sweetly herbal and crunchy - there could be no moment in time when this varietal wine should not serve a purpose. Great learning and joy to be had for all, especially in what may be seen as lighter by design. Drink 2024-2026. Tasted October 2024." - 90 points, Michael Godel, WineAlign.com
“Calm, cool, and collected with a label soothing to the eyes in mint-green. Discreetly aromatic with lime leaf, elderflower, ginger, almond, and fennel on the nose. Zesty but balanced with gentle lees and flavours of cucumber, white tea and mineral that mark the palate. Features a pleasant texture and notable persistence. Enjoy now or hold another 2-3 years. Tasted October 2024.” - 90 points, Sarah d’Amato, WineAlign.com
