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, situated in Langenlois, is one of the most prestigious wineries in Austria which impeccably displays Austrian wine culture at its best. Alwin and Stefanie Jurtschitsch having been leading the family estate for some time now and have managed to reinterpret premium wine in their own way. For the two of them this means vinifying authentic, complex and terroir-specific wines with cool, elegant stylistics - in other words, permitting the different appellations in Langenlois to express themselves individually. The new parameters, which are in fact based on long-standing traditions form the origin for this: biological farming, healthy soils, minimal interventions in the cellar and specifically experimenting to keep on top of the endless riches hidden away in the wine world.
