Wine Description

Fine herbal scent with yellow fruits, a hint of peach; complex; straight forward body, good potential

Vineyard

In the south east of Langenlois, towards the neigbouring village Gobelsburg, the hill and single vineyard (Ried) Spiegel is located. Loess soil with a slightly higher amout of sand makes up most of the soil structure. Old vines with lower annual yealds deliver very concentrated berries, which are selected by hand before reaching the cellar.

Wine Making

After gently pressing the grapes, the juice runs freely into pre-used big wooden barrels made from Austrian oak. The wine remains there on its full lees until its bottled with a minimum of intervention. This means very late and low sulfer addition, long yeast contact and making use of gravitation.
