The Outstanding Austrian Wines of Fred Loimer
November 1 2024 | 8:30 PM - 11:00 PM136 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11249
Francie is proud to welcome renowned Austrian winemaker Fred Loimer for an intimate evening of discovery. Within the Kamptal region, Fred Loimer has five vineyards (Loiserberg, Käferberg, Seeberg, Steinmassl, and Heiligenstein) where he grows Riesling, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Zweigelt used for his single varietal and blended wines. In 2006 the winery began its transition to practicing biodynamics. Eventually, Fred Loimer became one of the founding members of Respekt-Biodyn, a certifying body for biodynamic viticulture in Austria. Today, the Loimer Winery is among one of the most respected Austrian wineries on the international stage.
