The Jurtschitsch family's traditional winery with its 16th century vineyard and 700-year-old natural cellar is one of Austria's most beautiful wineries. Alwin and Stefanie Jurtschitsch look after their vines and wines with great love and sensitivity. Out of conviction and a love of nature, they decided in 2006 to convert the winery to controlled organic farming methods. It goes without saying that the conversion of their vineyards was accompanied by a rethink of the winemaking process. The single-vineyard wines are fermented with the vineyard's own yeasts in large wooden barrels.
The old cellar vaults, which were revitalised in 2016, offer optimal maturing conditions for the wines from the "filet pieces" of the great vineyards in Kamptal: Zöbinger Heiligenstein, Loiserberg, Dechant, Schenkenbichl, Käferberg, Lamm and Tanzer. Hardly any other Austrian winery manages to offer the best quality across the entire range with such reliability. Milestones have also been set for the region in red and sweet wines over the years. The uncompromising quality work is confirmed by numerous recurring national and international awards.
The "GrüVe®" is a bestseller in gastronomy and the specialist trade. This youthful, light Grüner Veltliner with its label by Christian Ludwig Attersee has outlasted many wine fashions and fashionable wines at home and abroad.
Anyone missing one or two single-vineyard wines in this year's ratings will have to be patient. Stefanie and Alwin Jurtschitsch have decided to bring their very best wines onto the market with a little delay.
