Pinot Noir from Austria, elegant and light-footed
The 2020 Pinot Noir by Fred Loimer is a dry organic red wine from Lower Austria. Transparent ruby red, red fruit, fine tannins – a Pinot Noir with finesse and elegance, light-footed yet complex.
Pinot Noir 2020 is the elegant organic Pinot Noir from the Fred Loimer winery, grown in the Kamptal and Thermenregion. Unfiltered and with fresh acidity – a Pinot Noir that shows that Austria has mastered this diva-like grape variety perfectly.
Sour cherry, plum, a hint of graphite
On the nose, juicy red fruits unfold – sour cherry, plum, raisin – along with spicy forest floor, dried herbs, and a hint of graphite. It glows a transparent ruby red in the glass.
On the palate, it is complex yet light-footed, elegant, with fresh acidity. A fine tannin structure meets grip and minerality. With only 12% ABV, this is a Pinot Noir that does not weigh you down, but lifts your spirits.
Wonderful with mountain cheese and dark chocolate
Its fresh acidity and fine tannins make this Pinot Noir a versatile food companion.
Mature mountain cheese and dark chocolate suit it just as well as wok vegetables or a mild curry – a red wine that also pairs with lighter cuisine. Serve at 14 to 16 degrees Celsius in a large Burgundy glass. Find more in our selection of Austrian wines.
From Kamptal and Thermenregion, hand-picked
Half of the grapes grow in the Kamptal near Langenlois on loess soil, and the other half in Gumpoldskirchen on clay soils interspersed with limestone gravel, all farmed biodynamically. Harvested by hand between early and mid-September in 20-kilo crates.
After three weeks of maceration, the wine is gently pressed and fermented spontaneously in used wooden fermentation vats. The wine matures for twelve months in 300-liter oak barrels, another ten months in large wooden casks, and four months in steel tanks. It is bottled unfiltered and with minimal sulfur.
Fred Loimer farms the vineyards biodynamically; as part of the respekt-BIODYN association, standards in the vineyard are strict. For those looking for a great, matured single-vineyard Pinot, we offer the Anning Pinot Noir and other wines from the Fred Loimer winery.
Enjoy slightly chilled in summer
Pinot Noir does not like it too warm – at 14 to 16 degrees, it shows all its finesse in a large Burgundy glass. A bit of air does it good. With 12% ABV, it remains a light, elegant red wine that is also a pleasure in summer, preferably a touch cooler than usual.
