Ried Spiegel:
This is a south facing site, high elevation site. The consistently high extract from this site is due to the deep roots of the vine, intensity and spiciness of its southern exposure. The soils here are a mix of deep, chlky loess and red gravel – a sort of mix of the two soil types from Rosenberg and Stein.

"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)"
