The Felberjörgl winery is located in the middle of the Sausal in Höch am Demmerkogl. Currently, about 13 hectares of vineyards are cultivated at altitudes ranging from 550 to 650 meters. The wines are clearly different from those from other wine-growing regions and are very strongly characterised by phyllitic slate. This unique minerality gives the wines a multi-layered aroma, a certain coolness and elegant tautness, combined with a salty-nervous acidity structure.
All the grape varieties important to the region are grown here, with the greatest emphasis on the expression of the individualistic varieties and sites: from the classic light range to the powerful Rieden wines to the Prädikatswein segment, the strengths of the individualistic varieties are emphasised.
The most important vineyards of the winery are Höchleit'n and Kreuzegg. The former, at up to 650 meters above sea level, is one of the highest sites in Austria and offers very good conditions for Sauvignon Blanc, Morillon, Riesling and Welschriesling. Kreuzegg is located at the height of the winery.
Here Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Blanc are the outstanding varieties. The soil has more humus layer than the Ried Höchleit'n, which makes the wines somewhat denser and more complex. Other vineyards are Zwickl, Mosergut and Schrotter.
A very important area of the winery is the vinification of sweet wine, whereby most of the grapes for this also come from the Höchleit'n vineyard. From the light Auslese to Eiswein and Trockenbeerenauslese to the very concentrated Strohweine, there is a rich selection.
The wines can be tasted and enjoyed in the family-run Buschenschank, where homemade Styrian delicacies, fruit juices and brandies are offered in addition to the wines.
