White dry
Jurtschitsch Grüner Veltliner Ried Loiserberg ErsteLage KamptalDAC 2003 - comes from Jurtschitsch's top-level Erste Lage vineyard in Loiserberg (Kamptal), one of the highest and coolest areas in the region. The grapes grow on sandy and mica soils, ideal conditions for the clean, mineral elegance of the GrüVe style.
Aroma: aromatic nuances of white peach and citrus blossom intertwine with a subtle spicy character of herbs and white pepper.
Taste: firm, fresh, bright kiwi, citrus, a hint of marmalade in the mouth. Salty minerality on the aftertaste. Elegant acid backbone emphasizes the structure even after many years.
The harvest is hand-picked. The fermentation of the juice begins spontaneously, using natural yeasts. Fermentation takes place in large local oak barrels (foudres).
The temperature is controlled naturally, allowing the process to proceed slowly and evenly. The wine is aged for about 6-10 months on its lees (sur lie). Maturation takes place in large oak barrels.
Serve at 10-12 °C. The bright fruitiness of the wine particularly emphasizes the delicacy of white meat, such as poultry or veal, and the wine goes well with many fish dishes.
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.
