Taste: This sparkling rosé pours a delicate copper-pink with a fine, persistent mousse. It opens with subtle tones of yeast, brioche, and puff pastry, evolving toward aromas of red cherry, plum cake, and almond cream. On the palate, the wine is refined and balanced, offering a discreet red fruit core framed by notes of white nougat and hazelnut. The mousse is creamy yet energetic, carrying a supple texture and integrated acidity. The finish is long, and precise. As wine academic Johannes Fiala noted, “So close to a Champagne.”
Pairing: for dishes with a touch of richness, salt, or subtle spice. Look for foods that highlight freshness and texture rather than weight; creamy, savory, or lightly fried elements tend to complement it beautifully. Avoid overly sweet or heavy sauces, which can overpower the wine.
About: The Loimer Brut Rosé Reserve is classified as a Sekt g.U. Reserve from Niederösterreich (Lower Austria), meaning all grapes come from this single federal state, are harvested by hand, and the wine is made by the traditional method (second fermentation in bottle). To meet the Reserve standard, the wine must age on the lees for at least 18 months before disgorgement—long enough to build creamy texture and subtle pastry tones while retaining freshness and lift. Loimer’s 20-month lees aging fits squarely within this category.
In other words, “Sekt g.U. Reserve” is the category, and “Niederösterreich” is the specific origin within that category, together forming the full appellation-level designation: Niederösterreich Sekt g.U. Reserve.
