Weingut Juris<\/a> was one of my fabulous tasting destinations during my Burgenland wine adventure.<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

While I\u2019m always interested in local, indigenous varieties, I was not going to leave Burgenland without tasting some of the famed Austrian Pinot Noir. As the grape that got me into wine, I love tasting expressions of Pinot from around the world. In fact, when I told people that I was going to Austria, the first thing many asked was whether I would get a chance to try some of the delicious Pinot there. Umm, heck yeah! Enter Weingut Juris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And enter Axel Stiegelmar who is a wealth of information not only about Pinot Noir, but about wine history in Austria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean he seriously was like a walking encyclopedia and it was great to learn so much about the region and Austrian winemaking in general.

Weingut Juris has been in Axel\u2019s family for over 100 years and was started by his grandfather Juris, after whom the winery was named. Before taking the helm at Juris, he had experiences elsewhere including a stint at Robert Mondavi in the 1990s. With a beautiful winery in the heart of Gols with lots of green space and a quaint tasting room, this was the perfect way to get in deep with some Pinot, not to mention the other fantastic wines that Juris produces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
