Fred Loimer works together successfully with 25 wine growers from the Kamptal. These growers are professionals who know their region, their varieties and their vineyards like no one else. Good sites and old vineyards (Bio Dynamic) owned by winemakers. From these grapes are wines that let tradition survive, yet have a contemporary interpretation as well. And most of all, they are wines which are fun.
He’s getting funky with skin contact, carbonic maceration (for the Riesling) and fermentation in Quevris, earthen ware jars burried up to their necks, for his Grüner.

Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
A beauty close to perfection. It displays intense, perfectly ripe, healthy and refined raisin fruit on the nose along with tropical hints, herbal notes and dashes of lemon juice, while the stony/mineral expressions remain rather in the background but still add excitement and distinction. On the palate, this is an incredibly juicy, piquant, refined, salty and weightless yet intense Riesling with concentrated but highly stimulating fruit.

Chardonnay from Meursault, Côte du Beaune
Stepping up from the Bourgogne level wines in a big way. Building tension length and depth. Again excellent composure, tighter now as it should be. Give this 12 months and you’ll be in a very happy place. Entrancing nice white flowers on grapefruit. A little more energy. Excellent texture, chalky phenolic acid complex that works brilliantly. An edge of grapefruit esque bitterness. A wonderful fine example. The mid-palate depth is the thing that demonstrates the step up in quality here.
Chenin Blanc from Vouvray, Touraine
77 g/L. This sports a flamboyant edge, with apple crumble, ginger cream, quince paste, green tea and honeysuckle notes forming a wide panoply of aromas and flavors, while sweet and racy accents contrast, creating a lengthy finish where everything hangs in harmony. A stunning show of fruit and precision.James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 97 Points
Fiano from McLaren Vale, South Australia
Fiano - A little bit of Italy that has made it's way to Australia! Fiano one of those Italian varieties that just seems to work in the warmer regions of Australia. It holds it's acid, giving the wines great texture and balance, the flavours from the skins are superb, spice and all things nice. It has just a slight silvery line of bitterness to finish, common to so many good Italian whites, which perfectly cleans the finish and marries it to food beautifully.
