The FJ Gritsch winery blends the past with the present while always keeping an eye on the future. Franz-Josef Gritsch represents the seventh generation of the family to cultivate wine at the historic Mauritiushof estate in Spitz on the Danube. Naturally, tradition and inherited knowledge are of paramount importance here. However, top quality can only be achieved through continuous development. This is exemplified by the Kalmuck cellar, where the wine is produced using state-of-the-art technology.

The connection between tradition and modernity is also evident in FJ Gritsch's vineyards: countless stone terraces have been recultivated in recent years. One example is the challenging Kalkofen vineyard in the Spitzer Graben, located at the climatic limit of where viticulture is still possible. In addition, FJ Gritsch also cultivates the Burgweingarten vineyard in Dürnstein, the last large vineyard within the historic city walls.
