White dry
Unadorned, unfined & unfiltered. Belle Naturelle is the slightly more adventurous alternative to our classic Grüner Veltliner Stein. Like this one, it comes from Grüner Veltliner grapes from high altitude vineyards around Langenlois. Once harvested by hand, the grapes were destemmed and fermented spontaneously on their skins for about two weeks in neutral Austrian oak fermentation vats. No temperature control was used and malolactic fermentation was also spontaneous. The wine matured on the lees in neutral oak (500 to 1000 liter barrels) in our 700 year old wine cellar. Fermentation with a combination of berries gives a unique and complex natural wine with a high diversity of flavor.
Serve at 9-11 °C with Vienna schnitzel, salad, fatty fish.
Elegant and flavorful white, this is nicely integrated and it displays mineral and vegetal notes of the grape. The structure is firm, yet this is approachable and leaves off a mineral aftertaste.
The Jurtschitsch winery is located in the historic Sonnhof estate in the north of Austria, in the famous Kamptal wine region. The history of the estate's cellars dates back to the 14th century, when the land was worked by monks. In 1868, the estate was purchased by the Jurtschitsch family, who have since then nurtured the tradition of winemaking with respect for nature and innovation.
Leaders in innovation in Austrian winemaking
The Jurtschitsch winery has long been one of the most progressive in Kamptal. They were the first in the region to:
Filter and bottle the wine themselves (previously this was done by intermediaries)
Organic winemaking - since 1972
Promoting wines from individual vineyards in order to reveal the terroir - the influence of soil, climate and location on the taste of the wine
Today, the name Jurtschitsch stands for unrivaled quality, stability and sustainability worldwide.
Vineyards and main grape varieties
Most of the vineyards are dedicated to white grape varieties, and the winery pays special attention to:
Grüner Veltliner - the flagship of the Kamptal region, known for its minerality and freshness
Riesling - an expressive, complex and long-maturing wine
The family carefully works with single-vineyard wines, emphasizing the natural diversity and terroir influence - this is highly appreciated among wine experts and collectors.
GruVe - art and wine in one
Since 1987, Jurtschitsch has been presenting a special GruVe Grüner Veltliner wine every year, the label of which is designed by a different artist every year. It is not only a high-quality dry white wine, but also an art project that attracts creative and wine lovers all over the world.
