Taste: The nose opens with citrus zest, dried pineapple, white pepper, and chamomile. On the palate, it’s both bright and textured — just-ripened pineapple, grapefruit, and lemon jam meet warming spice notes like cardamom and gingerbread. There's a clear varietal fingerprint: savory, spicy, and slightly salty, with vibrant acidity and a grip that gives the wine presence without heaviness. The finish delivers a balanced mix of sweet, sour, bitter, and salty notes, lingering with precision and freshness.

Pairing: This wine’s crisp acidity and layered spice make it a versatile partner at the table. It’s ideal with fresh seafood, lightly spiced Thai or Vietnamese dishes, or grilled chicken with herbs. For a classic match, serve it with schnitzel, young cheeses, or a plate of smoked trout and horseradish.

About: Lois (rhymes with “choice”) is sourced from contracted growers in Lower Austria and named for the region’s loess soils — though the geology also includes weathered gneiss and ancient gravel terraces. This bottling is the regional expression in Loimer’s lineup, positioned below his village-level and Erste Lage wines, yet produced with the same attention to detail: hand-harvested, spontaneously fermented, and aged on lees in stainless steel to preserve freshness and clarity.
