TASTING NOTES
The appellation Loiben implicates the vineyards of the villages Ober and Unterloiben at the eastern entry to the Wachau. Gently sloped facing the river Danube the soil is dominated by gravel mixed with some sandy sediments. At night, cool air from a side valley, the so called Menthalgraben is streaming down into the Loibner basin. This kind of terroir is resulting in very pure and vigorous wines showing high but ripe acidity. The vines are a littel bit younger compare tho all the others, on avarage 20 years. Harvest is by hand beginning of October and the fermentation and maturation takes 4-5 months in stainless steel. What is obtained is a right green-yellow wine, attractive stone fruits in the nose, nicely balanced, juicy with delicate acidity, good lenght and minerality. Start to drink it fom 2022
