Wine Description
Die reifen Trauben werden Ende September von Hand in kleinen Kisten geerntet. Die Trauben werden gerebelt und nach kurzer Maischestandzeit - nachdem der Traubenmost seine klassische Zwiebelschalenfarbe erhalten hat – sorgsam entsaftet und der Most geklärt. Um die zarten Duft- und Aromastoffe der Trauben zu erhalten, wird der Most in gekühlten Edelstahltanks bei ca. 18°C vergoren und anschließend der Wein auf seiner Feinhefe darin gelagert. Zeitig im Frühjahr wird der Wein fruchtig-aromatisch auf die Flasche gezogen.
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.
