When tradition meets progress

This synergy is also reflected in the winery’s architecture: in 2022, the historic Mauritiushof was expanded with a modern addition housing a “wine experience center,” and in 2015, the Kalmuck Cellar was added. 

The Mauritiushof Wine Experience offers tasting rooms, a tasting and display cellar, an event space, and a flexible kitchen to complement the culinary aspects of the wine experience. In addition, there is a comprehensive range of private tasting and cooking experiences, as well as the opportunity to treat yourself to a short getaway in beautiful vacation apartments with breathtaking views.

The perfect complement to this is the innovative kalmuck cellar, built using state-of-the-art technology. Here, as a further evolution of traditional Wachau wines, the winery produces excellent Gritsch single-vineyard wines as well as modern kalmuck wines – because the winemaker is convinced that top quality can only be achieved through continuous innovation. 

It goes without saying, then, that Franz-Josef Gritsch also prioritizes quality and innovation when it comes to his tanks, and that numerous Speidel tanks – such as fermentation and storage tanks, multi-compartment tanks, and variable capacity tanks – are an integral part of his winery.
