Stefan Pratsch from Hohenruppersdorf in the Weinviertel secures victory at this year's Falstaff Grüner Veltliner Grand Prix 2024 (Classic). His Grüner Veltliner Matznerhügel convinced the jury with its classic character, peppery notes and fine minerality. The Wine by S.Pratsch winery, known for its organic wine production, is located in a picturesque hilly landscape that offers ideal conditions for growing the grape variety.
The award-winning wine, which also offers delicate aromas of mango and tropical fruits, is not only suitable for Austrian cuisine, but also perfect for summer moments of enjoyment. Pratsch, who has been farming organically for over 30 years, is delighted with the success of his masterpiece, which is now being made available to international and Austrian wine lovers.
The Grüner Veltliner Matznerhügel, whose production is heavily focused on export (~90%), is currently also available in Austria. Those interested can order it online at www.pratsch.at/shop or taste it directly on site in the newly opened Vi[no]trine at the winery. In addition to the winning wine, the winery offers a wide range of wines and regional specialties.
