Vineyard Site
The grapes come from selected, historic vineyard parcels with calcareous loess soils, located south and southeast of Langenlois. During the Ice Age, loess was deposited as fly ash from the "Kalkalpen" mainly by the wind. The vines can root extremely deep in it and absorb the finest elements of the calcareous soils. In addition to the altitude differences and exposures of the vineyard parcels, the pronounced day-night temperature differences and the cool winds also shape the vines and the wines.

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.
