Robert Parker

Tasted as a sample in late June 2017, the 2016 Riesling Zöbinger Heiligenstein 1ÖTW offers a clear, fresh, lovely, pure, precise and aromatic bouquet of bright ripe fruits (like pears!) intermixed with the vital and flinty minerality of the Heiligenstein terroir. The wine is vital and elegant on the palate, intense, long and aromatic but also fresh and vibrant like a jive. The finish is salty and piquant and combines ripeness and fruit intensity with finesse and freshness.

About brand

Jurtschitsch is located at the historic Sonnhof Estate in northern Austria, in the renowned Kamptal wine region. The estate’s cellar history dates back to the 14th century, when the land was cultivated by monks. In 1868, the property was acquired by the Jurtschitsch family, who have since preserved winemaking traditions with deep respect for nature while embracing innovation.

Innovation leaders in Austrian winemaking

Over time, Jurtschitsch has become one of the most forward-thinking wineries in Kamptal. They were pioneers in the region to:

  • Filter and bottle their own wines (previously done by intermediaries)
  • Adopt organic viticulture as early as 1972
  • Champion single-vineyard wines, highlighting terroir—the influence of soil, climate, and site on wine character

Today, the name Jurtschitsch stands worldwide for exceptional quality, consistency, and sustainability.

Vineyards and key grape varieties

The majority of the vineyards are dedicated to white grape varieties, with particular focus on:

  • Grüner Veltliner – Kamptal’s flagship variety, celebrated for its minerality and freshness
  • Riesling – expressive, complex, and capable of long aging

The family works meticulously with single-vineyard bottlings, emphasizing natural diversity and terroir expression—an approach highly regarded by wine professionals and collectors.

GruVe – where art meets wine

Since 1987, Jurtschitsch has released a special “GruVe” Grüner Veltliner each year, featuring a label designed annually by a different artist. It is not only a high-quality dry white wine, but also an ongoing art project that attracts wine lovers and creatives around the world.
