Langenloiser Loiser Berg
Grüner Veltliner
2010
Kamptal DAC Reserve, Erste Lage ÖTW
Deep fragrance of blossoms, apple, citrus, pipfruit and stone fruit with an undertone of peppery spice. A soft yet full-bodied palate supported by good acidity, notes of dried fruit – juicy and powerful with a firm structure – pepper-spice and discreet roasted notes. Complex with a long minerally finish. A big reserve Veltliner that will mature beautifully with laying down - great potential !
This wine derives from a vineyard on the “Loiser Berg” wherein one also finds the site “Berg Vogelsang”. The difference is that the Grüner Veltliner from “Loiser Berg” 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.

Site and climate
Ried Loiserberg
The two neighbouring vineyards, Loiserberg and Berg Vogelsang rise to 380 meters above sea level, they are windy and experience extreme temperatures. The difference is that the Grüner Veltliner from “Loiser Berg” grows on a south to southeast facing slope, which is less exposed to the winds.
Maturation
The cool year 2010 let it seem wise to pick most of the Loiser Berg for the Kamptaler Terrassen blend in order to add more character and depth to this classic wine. Just a small part was left – for a later harvest end of November. The wine was matured in used oak for a few months before being bottled in the late summer.
Food pairing recommendation
Curry and stir-fried dishes, typical Austrian dishes like roasted goose, duck, or pork, goose or duck liver with vegetables and fruit, calf’s liver with apples and onions etc.
