The arrival of asparagus on restaurant menus can be considered a sure sign of the arrival of spring and summer. The season starts right from April with the arrival of foreign asparagus and continues until June, when the tables are covered with the domestic delicacy.
Asparagus has been considered a somewhat challenging partner for wine, especially when it is paired with a traditional poached egg, but the rich and rich sauces offered as a whole, such as beurre blanc or hollandaise, make pairing the wine easier. The preparation method of asparagus also affects the choice of wine.
Traditionally, good companions for asparagus are especially Sauvigino Blancs from the Sancerre region, aromatic Rieslings, tart Grüner Veltliners and champagne.
Indeed, the best asparagus wines of 2024 come from Austria, from biodynamic production pioneer Fred Loimer . Responsibility extends not only to environmental responsibility, but also to social and financial responsibility, and Loimer's farm is one of those to the respect-BIODYN organization . Many different grapes grow in Loimer's orchards, three quarters of which are Riesling and Grüner Veltliner and the rest From Pinot Noir, Zweigelt, Muskatelier, Traminer, Pinot Blanc, Rotgipfler, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. Up to 20% of the farm's total production is dedicated to sparkling wine, and Loimer is considered one of the country's best sparkling wine producers.
Instead of champagne, try Loimer's Blanc de Blanc Brut Nature , grab for Riesling the Loimer Langenloiser Riesling from the orchards of Langenlois, or the tart Grüner from the Loiserberg estate Ried Loiserberg Grüner Veltliner .
