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)"

"The 2021 Ried Spiegel 1™TW Feuersbrunn Grner Veltliner opens very clear, precise and intense on the nose, with intense and dense white, ripe fruit aromas. On the plate, this is a very rich and textural Veltliner with remarkable and vital acidity. The wine is very complex and long, revealing a long and aromatic as well as intense, powerful and stimulating saline finish. 13% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted in August 2023."

"What an exciting and fascinating gruner veltliner. Great concentration and focus on the medium- to full-bodied palate, where the spice and energy are equally impressive. Terrific freshness in the long, wet-stone finish. Already delicious but with so much aging potential. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification."

"Like the Ott Rosenberg, this has the extra complexity of another year in bottle. Rich aroma of pears and a touch of spice. Broad, chewy, almost grainy on the palate. Just fresh enough to balance. (JH)"
