Our older vintages
Grau- & Weißburgunder Spiegel
2019


A bouquet of refined, herbal and yellow fruit accents, hay flowers and just a hint of brioche; first a silky, fully present, mouthfeel, then dry and fresh, medium bodied and quite juicy with hints of ripe apple and stone-fruit, elegant grip, a touch of herbs, spice and minerals in the long finale.
The name of the vineyard „Spiegel“ (mirror) is said to derive from Latin “spectaculum” (“look-out”). In the ancient times of the “Limes”, the Romans probably used the spot to observe the Germanic tribes to the north of the Danube.
However, still up to now most of the folks think that the name is linked to the convex vaulting of the 300 meter hill, a kind of “mirror” to the sky. The height and exposure of the vineyard with perfect aeration allow to harvest the burgundy varieties a bit later and give both physical ripeness and freshness to a clean fruit.

Maturation
Both varieties ferment partly in steel tank, partly in used 300 liter Austrian and French oak barrels and then mature in 2.500 l Austrian barrels before assemblage.
Food pairing recommendation
Extremely versatile with food - from traditional Austrian to Pan-Asian cuisine; from pork scallop to stir fried meat and vegetables; this wine is a very charming partner to a large range of dishes without imposing its own character but supporting the tastes of a variety of ingredients.
