Vineyard Site
The Käferberg vineyard is sloping to the south. The vines in our plots were planted more than 50 years ago and root in meager amphibolite soil. It is an airy site on top of the hill, which keeps the grapes healthy until late autumn. The temperature differences between day and night are very pronounced, resulting in an exceptional balance between fruit and spice.

Winery

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.
