The Jurtschitsch family's traditional winery, with its 16th century vineyard and 700-year-old natural underground cellar, is one of the most charming wineries in Austria. Alwin and Stefanie Jurtschitsch cultivate their vines and wines with great passion and sensitivity. Out of conviction and affinity with nature, they decided in 2006 to attain organic certification for the winery. The conversion of their vineyards was accompanied by a fundamentally new approach to winemaking. The single-vineyard wines are fermented in large wooden barrels with wild yeasts from the vineyard.
The old cellar vaults, which were revitalised in 2016, provide optimal conditions for the wines from the best sites in the Kamptal: Zöbinger Heiligenstein, Loiserberg, Dechant, Schenkenbichl, Käferberg, Lamm and Tanzer. Few other Austrian wineries are able to offer such consistent quality across the entire range. Over the years, milestones have also been set for the region's red and sweet wines. Its uncompromising commitment to quality has been rewarded with numerous national and international awards. The "GrüVe®" is a bestseller in restaurants and specialist shops. This youthful, elegantly light Grüner Veltliner, with its label by Christian Ludwig Attersee, has outlasted many wine fads and fashionable wines at home and abroad.
Those who miss one or the other site wine in this year's ratings will have to be patient. Stefanie and Alwin Jurtschitsch have decided to release their best wines fashionably late.
