Fred Loimer – Winemaking with Achtung

The grapes for the Traminer Alte Reben mit Achtung from Weingut Loimer come from biodynamically cultivated vineyards in Gumpoldskirchen at 300 meters above sea level, where they benefit from the Pannonian climate with hot summers and dry autumns. The vines, up to 86 years old, grow on clayey sedimentary soils interspersed with limestone gravel. The Traminer was hand-picked, selectively in small 20kg boxes. Spontaneously fermented for four weeks on the skins in acacia barrels. Subsequently, the Traminer Alte Reben was aged for 10 months on the full lees, then, after the first racking with light sulfuring, for another 12 months on the fine lees, before being bottled unfiltered and unfined on August 22, 2019. In our temperature-controlled warehouse since August 14, 2024.

The Traminer Alte Reben mit Achtung is an orange wine, which it clearly shows with its beautiful matte orange color with amber reflections, but which actually describes a winemaking process where the berries of white grapes, as in red wine production, ferment on the mash, allowing the berries to impart aroma and tannins to the must. This is probably the world's oldest form of winemaking, originally from Georgia.
