Vineyard Site
This south-facing site is particularly rich in nutrients and has a thick humus layer of up to 80 cm, with medium-heavy loess underneath. This deep soil allows the vines to take root particularly deeply, which means that they can survive long dry periods without damage. Here, the grapes particularly absorb the minerals of the terroir and produce wines with a high concentration of aromas.

Winery
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.
