Langenloiser Loiser Berg
Grüner Veltliner
2016
Kamptal DAC, Erste Lage ÖTW


A reductive hint appears at first, then comes an attractive fleshy expression. Surprisingly round with notes of pomaceous fruit, especially old apple varieties; also some black pepper. Shows a nice gentle flow.
This wine derives from a vineyard on the “Loiserberg” wherein one also finds the site “Berg Vogelsang”. The difference is that the Grüner Veltliner from “Loiserberg” grows on a south to southeast facing slope, which is less exposed to the winds. The soil stems from primary rock geologically defined as zoisite-amphibolite, which is decomposing granite consisting of gneiss, mica-schist, and some clay and loess.
