Loimer Kamptal Riesling

Riesling Kamptal DAC is intended to be a transparent snapshot of the varietal, the vintage, and most importantly the Kamptal itself. The Kamptal features gneiss and conglomerate soils at higher elevations, and cold air from the nearby Waldviertal forest provides optimal growing conditions for Riesling. Vinification is by spontaneous fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. Austrian Riesling is always made in a dry style and shows aromas and flavors of ripe citrus, stone fruit, and flowers, with a persistent underpinning of minerality. Riesling’s high acidity makes it one of the most versatile wines at the table. Riesling can be used to cut the fattiness of foods such as pork or sausages and can tame saltiness. Conversely, it can highlight foods such as fish or vegetables in the same way a squeeze of lemon or a vinaigrette enhances a dish.
