Ried Loiserberg Grüner Veltliner 2016

The vineyard is situated on the south-south-east side, laid out in terraces, reaches up to 380 m above sea level and is one of our highest sites. The vines are deeply rooted in crystalline mica slate. home mountain stems from the Proterozoic eon and is an estimated 800 million-years-old. Grüner Veltliner drives its roots into mica-schist high on the mountain slope where the vines are exposed to constant winds that provide optimal aeration.

The grapes were selectively harvested by hand. Then the mash was macerated for several hours to extract the deep aromas from the berries. The naturally sedimented must was then fermented in 2000-litre wooden barrels made from local oak with natural yeasts. We want to intervene in the winemaking process as little as possible and give the wines the time to develop as independently as possible. Through this long maturation on the full yeast, the wine found its inner balance in spring and summer.

An ideal culinary companion for starters, poultry, savoury fish dishes or meat dishes.

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.
