Jutta Ambrositsch makes wines in Vienna. They are our go to everyday wines. Her wines are awesome -elegant, clean, balanced, confident, refreshing- wines that match most any occasion like a black sweater.
Viennese winemaking goes back hundreds of years, and today wine and vineyards (650 hectares in the city limits- 30% of which are cultivated organically/ or biodynamically) remain integral to the culture and layout of the city. Jutta tends her own vineyards- some choice plots on the Northern limits of the city she’s collected since 2004, just up the hills from the Danube. Jutta focuses her winemaking on the traditional favorites of the city- gemischter satz wines from both white and red grapes. Gemischter Satz (literally ‘mixed set’) are wines made from a blend of grapes, traditionally, and the case in most Ambrositch wines, co-planted varieties in a single vineyard, all harvested and fermented together.
Mainly Riesling, Welschriesling and Zierfandler made in one 750-litre barrel with minimal intervention. A slightly cooler cellar corner, a little more air contact, no filtration, no added sulphur; the finished result was a wine completely different to that of previous years. Innocent, almost clear, smelling of leaves, herbs and mirabelle plums, a little wild hare fur, a hint of alpine living. An uninhibited wine. – Marco Kalkbrenner, Ambrositsch website.
