The wine is made from a separate vineyard, harvested by hand and then immediately transported in small perforated boxes to the winery. The grapes are crushed by the legs, poured into open fermentation tanks with twigs and left to ferment by themselves without temperature control. After 14 days, the wine is squeezed and poured into 300-500 liter wooden barrels. After 12 months of maturation, the best seven barrels are selected and bottled; the wine is not filtered. Medium intensity ruby colors. The aroma is scented with notes of black cherries, plums, leather, forest floor and dried rose petals. Medium tannins. Long mineral aftertaste.
Serve at 14-16 °C with roasted duck breast with cranberry jam sauce, wild bird (such as pheasant, quail) dishes, medium-hard cheeses.
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
