For Mathias Jalits, the Eisenberg is something special, an area with incomparable advantages and characteristics. And that is conveyed in his wines. "You should have the Eisenberg on your palate when you drink our wines" is the philosophy of the South Burgenland winemaker. Sandy, clay, and heavy loam soils and a south-easterly exposure that keeps the icy north winds at bay provide ideal conditions for the powerful mineral Blaufränkisch, the winery's main variety. Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zweigelt, and a small amount of Welschriesling also grow on the slopes of the Eisenberg. The family is now in its fifth generation of winemaking. In 2001, Mathias Jalits took over the winery management, and since then, he has steadily increased the area under vines with a focus on quality and provenance. He does not engage in daring experiments, either in the vineyard or in the cellar: "The regional character should be reflected in my wines. That's who I am, that's Southern Burgenland, and that is conveyed in the wines. The excellent Falstaff ratings show that Mathias Jalits is on the right track with his philosophy. We can look forward to tasting his wines in the years to come.
