Jutta Ambrositsch

Vienna, Austria The Appellation of Vienna dates back to pre-roman times and has 1,650 acres under vine, all within the current city limits. These vineyards are home to the now famous Viennese Gemischter Satz (Viennese Field Blends, meaning “mixed set”) which, in an effort to preserve the city's cultural heritage, have therefore been recognized by Slow Food as an Ark of Taste and a Presidia Project. A former graphic designer, Jutta Kalchbrenner discovered viticulture and made a like change in the mid-2000s. She took on vineyards on the Grinzinger, a hillside tourist destination near Nussberger Prussia and Sommeregg. Jutta farms the mixed fields of vines and old vine Riesling under her maiden name, Ambrositsch. She works extremely naturally, using Biodynamic methods to achieve a fresh, balance result.
