Chardonnay classic 2021

The grapes come from a high altitude vineyard above the town of Langenlois. Clayey, cohesive loam and Gföhler gneiss reaching just to the soil surface characterize the vineyard. The cohesive soil allows very good water storage and thus guarantees an optimal water supply throughout the growing season.

2021 was a particularly varied year in the vineyards and once again demanded a lot of experience, sensitivity and intuition. After a cool spring and late flowering, the summer was very varied: sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy, but without heat waves. As changeable as the year had been until then, the weather remained stable during the harvest. The exceptionally beautiful and consistent autumn weather gave us the opportunity to harvest our parcels with absolute precision. The condition of the grapes was just perfect and the ripeness, acidity and aroma indicate an exceptional vintage that will be reflected in vibrant terroir-driven wines with longevity.

A classically vinified Chardonnay with ripe fruit aromas and elegant density - the variety of the great wine world with Kamptal charm. The high mineral content of the soil makes for dense wines with a fine spiciness and thus delivers Chardonnays that are particularly suited to the terroir.

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.
