Langenloiser Spiegel Grauburgunder 2010

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 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..
A portion of the Pinot Gris ferments in 300 liter Austrian oak barrels and then matures in a 2500 l barrel before assemblage.

Yield: 4000 liters per hectare

Alcohol: 13%  Acidity: 5,3 g  Residual sugar: 3,8 g

Tasting note: clear straw pale yellow, disctreet yet complex bouquet of flowers and exotic fruit supported by slightly. Toasty aromas and a hint of spice and tobacco. Powerful and fruity yet well balanced by its lively acidity. An attractive wine with a rich texture, yet still refreshing and very appetizing.

Food pairing: 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.
