Weingut Sonnhof Jurtschitsch

What Weingut Sonnhof Jurtschitsch does

Weingut Jurtschitsch (also operating as Weingut Sonnhof Jurtschitsch) is a family-owned Austrian winery headquartered at Rudolfstraße 39, 3550 Langenlois in the Kamptal region, operated as Weingut Jurtschitsch GmbH & Co. KG and led since 2007 by Stefanie and Alwin Jurtschitsch. The estate runs ~6 employees from a single site that includes a 700-year-old natural cellar used for fermentation and aging, and holds organic certification from Lacon Institute (valid 2025–2026) alongside Sustainable Austria (Nachhaltig Austria) certification, with organic viticulture in continuous practice since at least 2007.

The portfolio centers on Kamptal DAC-designated Grüner Veltliner (Terrassen, Löss, Urgestein, Langenlois) and Riesling (Platin, Langenlois), with extensions into Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Zweigelt and Sankt Laurent, sparkling wines under Sekt g.U. (Blanc de Noirs Grosse Reserve, Grüner Veltliner Brut Nature Grosse Reserve, Blanc de Blancs, Brut Rosé), and a sweet-wine ladder running from Spätlese to Trockenbeerenauslese. Production uses hand-harvested organic fruit, spontaneous fermentation, gravity-flow handling without pumps, and aging on fine lees in the historic cellar. The "Discoveries from the Winery" (Entdeckungen aus dem Weingut) experimental program has produced small-lot project wines annually since 2007, including Amphibolit, Glimmerstein, Mon Rouge, and Quelle Riesling. The GrüVe flagship label is in its 39th edition in collaboration with artist Christian Ludwig Attersee.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid go-to-market. Direct-to-consumer sales flow via email/phone orders, weekday cellar-door (Ab-Hof) purchases, and weekend Vinothek Ursin Haus sales at farm-gate prices, with free delivery in Austria and Germany above €100. Wholesale runs through Austrian retail partners and an international channel managed by a dedicated two-person sales team (Max Trabitsch, Bettina Koller). Pricing is quote-based for individual wines; the only transparent offer is a 6-bottle "6 x 2025" discovery package at €60.20 versus €66.90 retail. Marketing is limited to a Brevo-powered newsletter (~6x/year), a Facebook presence and the website, supplemented by thought-leadership collaborations such as the Wurzelwerk Riesling project with Weingut Georg Breuer and Weingut Gunderloch, and the WeinGARTEN_plus biodiversity initiative with Slow Food Österreich, Österreichische Traditionsweingüter and Arche Noah. The estate has no app, no e-commerce infrastructure beyond email routing, no public revenue disclosure, and no external investors.
