Vineyard Site
The grapes for our Sauvignon Blanc come from a small, high-altitude parcel on the edge of the forest. Here, the gneiss rock is covered with a thin layer of brown earth. The location of the vineyard, with a clear southern exposure, allows the sun's rays to fall on the vines at the optimal angle, while at the same time the site is perfectly protected from the north by a dense pine forest from winds that are too cold.

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
Youthful fragrance play with various fruit contents; varietal typical elderflower, gooseberry and currant aromas throughout the palate and piquant fruit texture. Above all, the lively fruit acidity has a very animating effect.
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.
