Glittering Results 2005
Last year the Jurtschitsch estate was awarded many medals and received high valuation again. Praise for the clear, fruitful and complex wine came from all over the world!
 Top Ratings from Gault Millau / Austria The Austrian Gault Millau Guide 2006 awarded the Jurtschitsch estate 17 points (white wines), 17 points (sweet wines) and 16 points (red wines) – a rather rare result for an overall high achievement in all three categories. Thus the Jurtschitsch estate also achieved the highest overall total in the Kamptal! Six Gold Medals In international competitions in Japan, Russia, Austria and Germany our wines could achieve an overall total of six gold medals; two of which (Japan and Russia) were won by the Grüner Veltliner Spiegel Reserve 2003: a complex and full-bodied wine still displaying elegant fruit components. It evidently impressed the members of the jury in Tokyo and Moscow sustainably. The testers in the US magazine Wine Spectator assigned 90 scores to this wine. Success is not a matter of chance ”We constantly work hard and uncompromisingly to enhance the quality of our wines. This is done by careful cultivation and strict selection at all stages of production: starting from the work done in the vineyards, the vintage, vinification to storage and bottling”, explains Paul Jurtschitsch the basis for the huge praise received for the quality of the wine from all over the world. ”It is very nice and safisfying that this additional amount of work is identifiable and tastable for the expert!” Awards for the Jurtschitsch estate in the year 2005: Japan Wine Challenge 2005 Gold for the Grüner Veltliner 2003 Spiegel Reserve Vinnaya Karta Open Moskau 2005 Gold for the Eiswein Grüner Veltliner 2002 Spiegel ProdExpo 2005 in Moskau, Internationaler Weinwettbewerb Gold for the Grüner Veltliner 2003 Ried Spiegel Reserve Mundus Vini 2005 Gold for the Sonnhof Zweigelt 2003 Ried Tanzer Reserve International Austrian Wine Challenge 2005 Gold for the Chardonnay 2003 Ladner Reserve Gold for the Zweigelt 2003 Ried Tanzer Reserve Gault Millau Wineguide / Austria, 2005 “Top results and medals are on the agenda for the Jurtschitsch wines.
