A year later Fred purchased the former cellar of the Haindorf Castle on top of which he constructed a modern black cube symbolizing his love for modern elegance, reflected in his wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the vineyard Fred follows a high density regime (6000 vines per hectare) to contain yields. The vines are trained low but the canopies allowed to grow high. In the cellar Fred relies on spontaneous fermentation and extended time on lees but says he works without a standard ‘recipe’ in order to be free to adapt from year to year, and from grape to grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFred began practicing biodynamics in 2006 and is a founding member of Respekt, a certifying body for biodynamic viticulture in Austria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAROMA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth grape varieties are reflected on the nose - ripe pear and apple from the Veltliner, and peach and elderflower from the Muskateller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate reveals notes of salinity, lemon sorbet, pickled cucumbers and pear mustard.

Superbly aromatic, pretty and delicately floral. Opulent aromas of grapes, grapefruit, roses, turkish delight and apricot swim merrily side by side. Frothy, vibrant fizz takes over the mouth for a moment, before melting away into fine bubbles and leaving a lovely grippy texture. The palate is floral and grapey too, with plush melon and pear. There’s a really ripe sensation and weight of fruit, but it finishes dry. Yum! Delicious! I love the energy and drive here, it’s the opposite of boring. While the majority of Loimer’s vineyards, which are all farmed biodynamically and certified by Respekt Biodyn, lie in the Langenlois area of Kamptal, the Muscat grapes for this fun, refreshing pétillant naturel wine come from Gumpoldskirchen south of Vienna.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Bennie, The Wine Front - 92 Pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuskateller and gruner veltliner, in a pet nat style, spent six months sitting on lees.
