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.

Passionatly we expend a lot of effort every year to finish our wines with a personal touch, which is important to us. Working in line with nature out in the vineyards is self-evident for us. This is why we have pursued sustainable wine growing throughout decades and we had our estate certified organic in 2010.
