Vineyard Site
The vineyard is characterised by deep loamy loess, which ensures an optimal nutrient supply for the vines. The Veltliner vineyard with south-eastern exposure is sheltered from the wind from the north-east, which allows the grapes to ripen evenly. The old, mighty vines have particularly deep roots here.

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.
