The Felberjörgl winery is located in the middle of the Sausal valley in Höch am Demmerkogl. Around 13 hectares of vines are currently cultivated at altitudes of 550 to 650 metres above sea level. The wines differ significantly from those from other wine-growing regions and are 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 important grape varieties for the region are cultivated here, with the greatest attention being paid to the characteristics of the individual varieties and sites: from the classic, light range to the powerful Rieden wines through to the Prädikat wine segment, the strengths of the individual varieties are emphasised.
The winery's most important vineyards are Höchleit'n and Kreuzegg. At up to 650 metres above sea level, the former is one of the highest vineyards in Austria and offers excellent conditions for Sauvignon Blanc, Morillon, Riesling and Welschriesling. Kreuzegg is located at the same altitude as the winery. Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Blanc are the outstanding varieties here. The soil has more humus than the Höchleit'n vineyard, 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 wines, with most of the grapes for this also coming from the Höchleit'n vineyard. From the light Auslese to Eiswein and Trockenbeerenauslese to the very concentrated straw wines, there is a rich selection.
The wines can be tasted and enjoyed in the family-run Buschenschank, where homemade Styrian delicacies, fruit juices and fine brandies are offered alongside the wines.
