Ried Spiegel:
This is a south facing, high elevation site – up to 350 meters. The soils here are a mix of deep, chalky loess and red gravel – a sort of mix of the two soil types from Rosenberg and Stein. Made up of three separate terraces, it is the top terrace that has the red gravel which Bernhard says adds fruit and elegance to the final wine.

"Very concentrated with an astonishing herbal freshness (think rosemary and sage), this is a sensational gruner veltliner with the kind of textural complexity and elegance we associate with great white burgundy. Extraordinarily long finish with excellent minerality and finesse. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"I like the white pepper and hazelnut undertones to the stone fruit and herb aromas. Honey and sea salt, too. It,s ripe and full of flavor, with a medium to full body and compact, spicy layers. Wonderful intensity and length. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2021 Grüner Veltliner Spiegel was picked on well-ventilated terraces of loess on top of calcareous, iron-rich Danubian gravels. On the nose, yeast blends into the gentle woodland scent of moss, edged with just a little pepper. The palate is rounded, with a heightened sense of pepper on a very airy, smooth, almost ethereal body. Soaring towards the sky, this is fresh and bright, all reaching upwards. At once light-footed and sprightly yet profound, the entire wine is vivid with white pepper. (Bone-dry)"

"The 2021 Ried Spiegel 1"TW Feuersbrunn Grner Veltliner opens very clear, precise and intense on the nose, with intense and dense white, ripe fruit aromas. On the plate, this is a very rich and textural Veltliner with remarkable and vital acidity. The wine is very complex and long, revealing a long and aromatic as well as intense, powerful and stimulating saline finish. 13% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted in August 2023."
