we drove to Weingut Jalits in Badersdorf.
Mathias Jalits, fifth generation of the Jalits family, who is running the estate, was our host.
He took us to the new winemaking facilities in the back of the estate before sitting down in the old, traditional wine tavern, which is also run by the Jalits family, for a simple lunch, prepared by the mother of Mathias, cum wine tasting of the Jalits wines.
Weingut Jalits are repesented in the USA by Klaus Wittauer and are widely available in the greater Washington DC area.
Weingut Jalits, Badersdorf, Eisenberg, BurgenlandSince 2001 it is Mathias Jalits, fifth generation of the Jalits family, who is running the estate. He farms 40 acres of vineyards planted with Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot, Blauburger, Blauer Portugieser, and Pinot Noir and the white varieties of Welschriesling, Grüner Veltliner, and Pinot Blanc.
Mathias’ aim is to produce wines that are typical of the region and this is his philosophy: The down-to-earth nature of the region should be reflected in my wines. That's who I am, that's how Southern Burgenland is, that's how our wines should be.
About Jalits - Siema Wines
Eisenberg / South Burgenland is probably the most unspoiled wine landscape of Burgenland, with some 1,230 acres of vineyards stretching from the town of Rechnitz in the North, to Güssing in the South. Authentic red wines are produced here, predominantly from Blaufränkisch that display subtle mineral spicy notes.
Jalits winery is a traditional family business. Since five generations, the family has been devoted to wine production. But Mathias Jalits brought the wine-growing business to a professional track and has been responsible for the operation since 2001. He is supported by his family, especially his parents Anna and Alfred Jalits. "We greatly benefit from the ideal circumstances for pressing incomparable wines which are typical for the region", says the winegrower.
Mathias Jalits has found his own style: his wines are powerful, marked by the Eisenberg's minerality. "We focus on enhancing the traditional and we avoid making daring experiments. However, this doesn't mean that we completely reject new ideas and innovations. The traditional can always change for the better but one should never lose sight of the region's strengths", says Mathias Jalits.
Vineyard: 32 acres.
