Fred Loimer is a winemaker who loves a challenge and they don't come much steeper than Pinot Noir, farmed to his high organic standards and vinified with minimal intervention. Doing that for a grape that is high maintenance, delicate and not indigenous to Austria is exactly the challenge Fred Loimer relishes and in the far reaches of Lower Austria, he has crafted a grand Austrian ‘Pinot'. Niederösterreich enjoys a warm Pannonian climate balanced by cool winds from the Waldviertel in the northwest, creating significant day-night temperature differences that preserve the grape's acidity and subtle aromas. Loimer has consciously kept the yields low and embraced the biodynamic approach. Aged for nearly two years, this high quality Austrian Pinot Noir displays the classic berry flavours and touches of olive, cocoa and distinct minerality.
