The FJ Gritsch winery combines the past with the vivid while always keeping an eye on tomorrow. Franz-Josef Gritsch revivids the seventh generation of the family to run the winery in the historic Mauritiushof in Spitz an der Donau. It goes without saying that tradition and traditional knowledge are of the utmost importance here. However, top quality can only be achieved through continuous development. This is what the "kalmuck" cellar stands for, where the wine is pressed using state-of-the-art technology. In addition, there is now the impressive new wine experience world: an inviting tasting and sales room, a well-equipped event area with show kitchen and three stylish and cosy vacation apartments have been created in and around the historic Mauritiushof, from whose terraces you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the famous Singerriedel vineyard. The hotel's own large underground parking garage rounds off the overall concept. The combination of tradition and the vivid is also evident in Franz-Josef Gritsch's vineyards: he has re-cultivated countless stone terraces in recent years - for example in the challenging Kalkofen vineyard in the Spitzer Graben, i.e. in the climatic border area where viticulture is still possible. The Rieslings that grow here are characterised by their coolness, elegance and firm structure. Gritsch also cultivates the Burgweingarten vineyard in Dürnstein, the last large vineyard within the historic town walls. The steeply rising stone terraces do not allow for any mechanical processing - this is the epitome of manual work that pays off: the result is a great, multi-layered and profound Riesling.
