Spiegel, a southerly-exposed site at about 250 meters above sea level, stretches just in front of the town of Langenlois, in view of the river Danube. It extends over a vast layer of loess (up to 40 meters), which has a light and sandy surface. Thanks to the deep, well-drained soils, the vines have formed deeply penetrating root systems, thus overcoming even long periods of draught without damage. This site is ideal for growing Grüner Veltliner. The grapes marry so well with the terroir, that they yield highly aromatic, concentrated wines. A massive Grüner with a long life ahead.
grape variety: Grüner Veltliner

Wine description
Bright golden yellow, delicate aromas of ripe apples. Lively and at the same
time mature acidity, almost sparkling spiciness on the palate combined with
the incomparable charm, as only the Veltliner from the Spiegel has. The
typical flavors of this Cru are often present in this vintage again, but
combined with the freshness of the vintage, which gives this full wine more
structure and backbone.
