Loimer Brut Rosé Reserve NV
£29.00
“Vivid notes of Red Delicious apples fill the nose with their fresh mellowness. The palate adds a salty, yeasty undertone that swings well with the inherent freshness and dryness. The foam is still lively but speaks of smoothness and yeast in all its creaminess. This is fresh and mellow at the same time, serious and frivolous. The finish is wonderfully dry.”
The Loimer estate vineyards are planted around Langenlois, in the cool, yet sunny Kamptal region northwest of Vienna. Divided into 100 parcels, comprising seven soil types, Loimer’s 85 hectares of vineyards provide a range of complexities to their wines. Meanwhile, their high elevation and south/south-east facing aspects encourage the development of aromatic compounds in the grapes. The estate’s conversion to biodynamic viticulture began in 2006, resulting in official Respekt certification for their wines.
The Brut Rosé Reserve blends Zweigelt, Pinot Noir and St. Laurent and ages for at least 24 months on its lees before disgorgement. Made using 20% reserve wines, the palate is mouth-filling and structured, with discreet notes of strawberry and red currants and more complex flavours of pastry and nougat.
