Dorli Muhr, who was born in the village below, did much to bring the hill back into serious cultivation. The Obere Spitzer sub-vineyard covers almost seven hectares on the extreme western slope at 210 metres. Her single hectare of Blaufrankisch there dates from 1955 and sits on the steepest part of the slope, where the soils are sandy and dry. The fruit is lightly crushed, then macerated and wild-fermented in small open-top vats with a small proportion of stems and only gentle foot-treading.

This cuvée comes from several certified organic parcels at the lower elevations of the southern slope, where clay content is higher than on the stony upper terraces and the wines carry more flesh. Blaufränkisch makes up 65% of the blend and Syrah the remaining 35%, an unusual pairing in Austria but one suited to the site's warmth and wind. The fruit ferments naturally in small open-top fermenters, with the cap wetted by hand only occasionally, so extraction stays gentle.

The soil is rich in limestone with sandy topsoil and stones and boulders scattered throughout, conditions that restrict vigour and push the variety towards its more mineral, savoury register rather than its fruitier one.

This vineyard lies immediately below the church on a soft, south-facing incline, with soils of limestone interleaved with layers of clay and loess. The clay and loess hold more water than the stony Spitzerberg sites, and the gentler gradient and southern aspect make for steady ripening, so the wine tends to be rounder and more openly fruited than the estate's ridge-grown bottlings. The fruit is fermented wild and macerated in large wooden vessels with no temperature control, then aged for 20 months and racked once before bottling without filtration.
