Ried Spiegel Grau- & Weißburgunder

2023

Kamptal DAC

A bouquet of refined, yellow fruit accents, hay flowers and juvenile yeast underlined with a hint of brioche; first a silky mouthfeel, then dry and very fresh but quite juicy, medium bodied, with hints of pome fruit and a subtle dash of mango, elegant grip, a touch of herbs, a lot of spice and minerals in the finale. A highly pleasurable, Burgundian-style of wine; this is an extremely versatile food-companion that might equally please red- and white wine drinkers, should they wish to agree on one single bottle for the meal.

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 2023 vintage
Charm, abundance, structure and depth already in the entry level The year had started rather late for our vines. Sprouting was delayed by cool and dry weather, in April. By coincidence, this happily prevented damage by a cold northern air stream, which heavily affected early flowering fruits like apricots. In Kamptal we received the long sought after rain in mid-April and for 2023 this also meant the end of drought. At first, the green cover was flourishing and later, still in May, the slightly late yet vital sprouting took place. Around the 10th of June, under changeable weather conditions, our vineyards started to blossom, about at...

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.

Grau- & Weißburgunder Spiegel

2017

Refined, slightly lifted herbal and white fruit accents in the aroma, elegantly interwoven with roasted hazelnuts and bay leaves; firm acid structure but well rounded, ripe apple and pear characters on the front palate, good texture, delicate fruit referring to the Pinot Blanc, well rounded, not fleshy but fully present mouthfeel through the Pinot Gris, a hint of herbs and spice, juicy finale. A highly pleasurable, not too serious Burgundian-style of wine.

Grau- & Weißburgunder Spiegel

2016

Finely-tuned is this Pinot Gris/Pinot Blanc cuvee , “Grauburgunder” accounting for the lion’s share, subtle and inviting bouquet with hints of brown sugar, red berries, hay flowers and some juvenile yeasty notes; dry, fresh and tightly woven, then smooth and fleshy with medium body; some fruit sweetness, well balanced, just getting ready to drink with good length and potential.

Grau- & Weißburgunder Spiegel

2015

Fine-tuned - this time as a Cuvée with the Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) making up the lion's share. Notes of caramel and cotton candy, also a little cornelian cherry; intense yet elegant. A powerful, firm body;  polished and straightforward;  uncomplicated on a high level. With a delicate touch of yeast underneath; good persistent length. A good prognosis!
