Vineyard Site
The Schenkenbichl vineyard is the source of one of our best Grüner Veltliners and this site is also very influential for our Pinot. The cool, vibrant character and complexity are derived from this terrain, yet we don't want to ignore the significance of this wine's second origin, the Ladner vineyard. They each seem to complete one another and deliver exactly those components that make our Pinot what it is.

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.
