2021 Kamptal Riesling
2021 Kamptal Riesling
ABV: 12.0%
Grapes: 100% Riesling
From: Kamptal, Austria
The wine is yellow with green reflections in the glass. There are aromas of lemon peel, ginger, and chamomile on the nose. The palate is crisp, with invigorating acidity and a mineral core. The finish is both long and elegant with silky texture.
This could work well as an alternative to either a Loire Sauvignon Blanc or unoaked Chardonnay drinker.
The Loimer estate vineyards lie around Langenlois in the cool yet sunny Kamptal area to the north-west of Vienna. Divided into 100 parcels and planted on seven different soil types, the 85 hectares of vineyard offer huge potential for great complexity in the wines, while their high altitude and south/south-east-facing aspects encourage the development of aromatic compounds in the grapes.
Serve chilled. Stick in the fridge for a few hours. Try with fried chicken... Or oriental noodle salads.
