Best Grüner Veltliner in Austria (Classic) – Award for organic winemaker Stefan Pratsch
Vienna/Lower Austria/Hohenruppersdorf (OTS) – June 28, 2024: Austria’s best classic Grüner Veltliner comes from Hohenruppersdorf/Lower Austria/Weinviertel
Stefan Pratsch wins the 31st Falstaff Grüner Veltliner Grand Prix 2024 (Classic)
We are extremely pleased that our Grüner Veltliner Matznerhügel emerged as the winner of this year’s Falstaff Grüner Veltliner Grand Prix. Our award-winning masterpiece is a classic, peppery Veltliner with silver reflections that smells delicately of mango and tropical fruits. With its elegant freshness and fine minerality, it appears particularly light. This makes it not only an ideal companion for Austrian and international cuisine, but also perfect for summer days.
As one of the 40 highest-rated classic Grüner Veltliners in the state wine list, it stood out as the winning wine in the Falstaff final – and thus shows the way for the years to come.
Our Organic winery Wine by S.Pratsch is located in Hohenruppersdorf, a picturesque wine town in the southern Weinviertel, where we have been cultivating our vines according to organic guidelines for over 30 years. The romantic hilly landscape of our region has been home to the best Veltliner in Austria for generations. Our Grüner Veltliner captures the warming sun of the Weinviertel and binds the minerality of the deep, water-retaining soil on which it grows. The constant fresh wind gives this typically Austrian wine its special character.
Because of our strong export orientation (~ 90%), the now award-winning Grüner Veltliner Matznerhügel finds its fans mainly outside of Austria. However, for a short time it is now also available in Austria – all you need to do is visit our online shop at www.pratsch.at/shop.
If you want, you can also taste the winning wine every day between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. in our newly opened restaurant Vi(no)trine Taste directly at the winery. In addition to classic wines, we also offer vineyard and reserve wines as well as natural wines. A selection of regional delicacies is also offered, which can be enjoyed in the new tasting room.
