Ried Mühlpoint
The Mühlpoint vineyard is located on the slope of the Steinertal. While in the upper part of the influence of the mountain is still clearly felt and gneiss penetrates to the surface, the lower half is increasingly characterized by the level and continuously deeper loam layers. Aromatically, these factors are mainly noticeable through a pronounced spiciness.
Spicy and salty, fruity background; punchy texture, concentrated body, lively acidity, always straight and focused.
