The fully ripe grapes were selectively harvested by hand, without botrytis or shrivelled berries in the vineyard (Ried) Langenloiser Spiegel. After a few hours of maceration, the juice ran freely from the press into 600-liter barrels of Austrian oak, where it fermented naturally at cellar temperatures. In late summer of the following year, the finished wine was taken off the full lees, aged in steel tanks and bottled unfiltered in November 2021.

Ried Spiegel is located in the south of Langenlois on the way to the next village, Gobelsburg. The soil consists of several layers of loess soil from different climatic phases. The highly limy soil contains a very balanced mixture of minerals. These excellent conditions are the basis for our Grüner Veltliner Spiegel.
After a dry and warm winter, the season started quite normally. A very warm and sunny April did little to accelerate development, as it was accompanied by extreme dryness that lasted for weeks. May saw great amounts of rainfall, and June was also very damp and changeable. Flowering occurred at the usual average time and was generally unproblematic. A good old-fashioned summer followed, characterized by alternating sunny and rainy periods, with neither long heatwaves nor temperature spikes. After all, 2020 was a cool influenced vintage, resulting in wines with lower alcohol and a lot of elegance.
