Hardly any other grape variety has such a "culinary range" as Grüner Veltliner. And no other winery is as focused on the local number one as Schloss Maissau. The winery is run by Grüner Veltliner specialist Ewald Gruber from the winery of the same name in Röschitz and Josef M. Schuster, a wine trade professional born in Maissau.
Exactly 40 years ago, all of the vineyards at Schloss Maissau on the Manhartsberg were planted entirely with Grüner Veltliner. A unique oenological treasure - because the "Manhartsrebe" conveys differences in soils and microclimates directly, clearly and distinctly. The mission is to work out the character of the individual vineyards precisely and bring it into the bottle.
Impressive results of this work are the great wines of the "Grand Cru Juliusberg" and the "Clos Quittengang". The Quittengang vineyard is bordered by walls and an avenue of fruit trees and, in contrast to the barren, stony Juliusberg, has heavier, loamier soil. Since 2012, the "Premier Cru Neuberg-Schanz" has also been vinified under its historical name and vinified separately - this "new" vineyard name is worth remembering.
