Loimer Langenlois Pinot Noir 2011

A firm, ruby-red color, very pretty. Invigorating red-fruit-aroma intensity accompanied by fine, floral undertones; youthful. A firm front-palate, tight elements, and a finely grained structure which supports a dark-forest-fruit core and fresh acidity. Persistent, long finish. Undoubtedly a fine Pinot with a great life ahead of it. This wine pairs perfectly with meat and pasta dishes with lighter sauces.

100% Pinot Noir. Weingut Loimer, founded in 1962 by Fred Loimer, is located in the town of Langenlois, Austria. In 1998, one year after the winery was handed over from father to son, Fred Loimer Jr. bought a historical vaulted brick cellar—a former cellar of the Haindorf Castle in the middle of the grapevines between Langenlois and Zobing. With the help of Architect Andreas Burghardt, he renovated the cellar adding a minimalist building above to serve as the tasting room and office. Lois (pronounced 'LOYS') is the locals' abbreviation for Langenlois—the winery's hometown.
