Loimer, LOIS, Grüner Veltliner, Austria ‘07
Grapes: Grüner Veltliner
Each: £7.95
All the good bits of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay with none of the Bad!
Seriously, try this as a new direction, you wont be disappointed. Fred Loimer makes various regional and single vineyard cuvees all worth exploring for a full investigation of exactly what Grüner Veltliner can do. The LOIS is his introductory wine, introducing us to the appeal of Grüner. The wine sees only steel so is zippy and fresh – just as Sauvignon Blanc. Some added complexity comes from the fact that the grapes are sourced from vineyards all over – with different soils and ripeness levels. Finally Grüner itself adds some weight and its own individual touch – white pepper. Sniff it, taste it and just try to disagree, I dare you.
