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.

Vintage description
Nach dem trocknen und kühlen Start ins Jahr, erwachte die Natur mit den ersten Niederschlägen im April. Auch die Blüte ließ heuer wieder etwas auf sich warten und brachte ein aus Sonne und Wolken wechselndes Frühjahr mit sich. Durch den heißen, trockenen Sommer konnten die Trauben harmonisch heranreifen. Anfang September starteten wir voller Freude mit der Sekt-Lese. Kurz hielten wir den Atem an, als uns am 13. September ein Hagelunwetter traf. Der Rest der Lese verlief wie im Bilderbuch und wir schauen dem großartigem Jahrgang 2023 mit glücklichen Gesichtern entgegen.

Wine Description

The age of the vines and the resulting natural yield reduction result in a highly mature wine, rich in substance with balance, clear fruit and elegance that lingers for a long time.

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.
