Altenberg Jois 2019

The hand-picked grapes for this finesse-rich Grüner Veltliner come from the Ried Altenberg. A chalky top vineyard in Jois am Leithagebirge, which forms the perfect breeding ground for aromatic, exciting wines due to its proximity to the forest, the associated coolness at night and the great age of the vines.

2019 started out with a dry winter, followed by a relatively warm spring. The cool and very wet May delayed vegetation but ensured water reserves for the hot and dry June, July and August. Harvest started at the beginning of September.

Fine complex fruit, rich and long on the palate, mineral, spicy-floral finish.

As residents of Burgenland in the far east of Austria and as winemakers in Gols, we find ourselves in a multiply fortunate position. Because the Pannonian climate at Lake Neusiedl is not only beneficial and wonderful to live in, but also perfectly predestined for viticulture. The same applies to the diverse soils. This obliges us to produce wines of the highest quality. Starting with the 2013 vintage, all of our winery wines will be organic or biodynamic. In addition, Gols, where our family has been producing wine since 1684, is also a little away from the hustle and bustle of the city. That's why we have the peace and patience here to focus on what matters most. To produce distinctive, timeless, enduring wines from local varieties that will stay with you for a lifetime.
