Am Berg 2018 Riesling Ried Loiserberg DAC
This renowned vineyard, also cultivated by the likes of Bründlmayer and Hiedler, is exceptionally rocky and windswept. Its pronounced diurnal temperature changes give rise to wines that are simultaneously exotic in their fruit expression but nervous and salty in their acid structure. This beauty is no exception, whose elegance and length on the palate explain why Grubers regard it as their favorite site.

Notes from the Producer: The Loiserberg is one of the largest vineyards in the Kamptal valley and stretches from Langenlois at 250 metres up the mountain to Mittelberg at 380 metres. Apart from the loess layers, which become thicker towards the south-east and at the foot of the Loiserberg, and the marble lenses in places, mainly lime-free rocky brown soils are formed here over silicate crystalline rocks such as paragneiss, mica slate and amphibolite, which alternate in a narrow space.
