Single-Vineyard, Organic
2021
Yellow colored, super fresh and spicy nose with hints of well integrated oak. The wine appears rather tight on the palate for Grüner Veltliner. Lots of precision. A wine to keep from a superb vintage.

The fully ripe grapes were selectively harvested by hand, without botrytis or shrivelled berries in the vineyard (Ried) Langenloiser Spiegel. After a few hours of maceration, the juice ran freely from the press into 600-liter barrels of Austrian oak, where it fermented naturally at cellar temperatures. In late summer of the following year, the finished wine was taken off the full lees, aged in steel tanks and bottled unfiltered in November 2021.
Ried Spiegel is located in the south of Langenlois on the way to the next village, Gobelsburg. The soil consists of several layers of loess soil from different climatic phases. The highly limy soil contains a very balanced mixture of minerals. These excellent conditions are the basis for our Grüner Veltliner Spiegel.
The season started with a very dry spring, that was only interrupted by a cool and wet May. Throughout the summer we experienced some hail on the single vineyards Steinberg and Kittmannsberg, however, we were fortunately spared from bigger damages. Ripeness really accelerated on the back of a sunny and relatively warm late summer. The vintage shows wines with good acidity, yet good ripeness, and therefore we expect a high longevity.
