Alwin & Stefanie Jurtschitsch
Mon Blanc 2021
A wine that is as modern and old school as it gets - how’s that possible? Well, Alwin and Stefanie always had vineyards on their best sites in Kamptal planted with the lesser-known varieties of the area such as Weissburgunder and Muskateller however it never felt as if it was the wine they felt connected with - that changed when they decided to pick the vineyard as a whole - so meaning picking all their grapes including the classic Grüner and Riesling and co-ferment them and press them as a traditional field-blend as Alwin's grandfather would have done. To give some more flavour and character they left the juice to ferment on the skins for a couple of weeks with a gentle 'infusion‘ bringing out the best of every vintage.
It’s a wonderfully floral and delicate orange wine with a mineral backbone from its Kamptal roots. Think orange peel and honey mingling with a floral edge and a sprinkle of almonds – a beautiful wine to make even the most ordinary moments feel a little more special.

Their first step was to convert to organic farming and place sustainability and site expression at the heart of their winemaking practice. They also started to ...
