Grüner Veltliner Käferberg 2017, matured and at its peak

The 2017 Grüner Veltliner Käferberg from Fred Loimer is a dry organic white wine from the Erste Lage (Premier Cru) site Käferberg in the Kamptal region. From an early, sunny vintage, it is beautifully matured today – a single-vineyard wine with substance that is opening its window perfectly right now.

Grüner Veltliner Käferberg 2017 is the matured single-vineyard wine from the Fred Loimer winery in Langenlois. A Grüner Veltliner from the Erste Lage Käferberg, aged for a long time in large oak barrels and on the lees. Firmly structured, mineral-driven, with aging potential that extends well into the 2030s.

Yellow apple, herbs, and orange zest

On the nose, the Grüner Veltliner shows yellow apples and dried banana, accompanied by a herbal, vegetal note, orange zest, and a touch of pepper – aromas that have deepened over the years.

On the palate, it is substantial and dense, with elegant extract sweetness, mineral grip, and a long finish. With 13% vol. and a mild 4.8 g/l acidity, it feels powerful yet round. A wine with stature that doesn't rush anything.

Fried chicken, roast veal, and aged mountain cheese

Its richness and maturity make the Käferberg a companion for hearty, substantial cuisine.

Classically, anything fried goes well with it – Wiener Schnitzel, crispy fried chicken. That very fried chicken with a squeeze of lemon suits it well, as does roast veal or aged mountain cheese. Serve at 11 to 12 degrees Celsius in a large glass. You can find more from our assortment under dry white wines.

The early 2017 vintage in the Kamptal

2017 brought the Fred Loimer winery the earliest harvest Fred has ever overseen. A harsh winter was followed by a warm spring with early budding; the "Ice Saints" caused hardly any damage.

The first half of the year remained dry, with the long-awaited rain only arriving at the end of July, followed by a perfect August and September that ensured ripe, healthy grapes. The result was a firm, well-structured vintage – for the Käferberg, with an aging window until about 2040. Exactly why it drinks so beautifully today, at nine years old.

55-year-old vines on an Erste Lage site

The Ried Käferberg is a warm, sheltered Erste Lage site not far from Langenlois, facing south, at 310 to 345 meters above sea level. Its soils are complex: Gföhl gneiss and mica schist, overlaid with sand and clay marl.

The vines, up to 55 years old, are cultivated biodynamically. After 24 hours of skin contact, the must ferments spontaneously in used 1,250- and 2,500-liter oak barrels, slowly at a maximum of 24 degrees. It matures for eleven months on the full lees in wood, and another nine months on the fine lees in steel, before being bottled in July 2019.

Fred Loimer manages the vineyards biodynamically. If you are looking for the younger, award-winning vintage of the same site, you can find the Käferberg 2018 and other wines from the Fred Loimer winery with us.

It is already in its finest window

A matured Käferberg appreciates some air – feel free to decant it half an hour in advance. Serve at 11 to 12 degrees, not colder. With 13% vol., it has the power to age, but it is already in the middle of its finest window today. You don't have to wait for this one anymore.
