Vineyard Site
The vineyard, which is situated on the south to southwest side, is laid out in terraces, reaches up to 380 m above sea level and is one of our highest sites. The vines are deeply rooted in crystalline mica schist. The Loiserberg is the most westerly elevation in Langenlois towards the Waldviertel region and therefore enjoys a very special microclimate. Even on warm summer days, the vines here are surrounded by cooler winds from the rougher Waldviertel region, which gives the wines a ripe acid structure, cool elegance and lightness.

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 steep and meager terraces of the Ried Loiserberg in Langenlois provide perfect conditions for this dense and mineral Riesling with aromatic depth and finesse.
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.
