Josef Jamek is Austria's hidden hero. In the history of Austrian winemaking Josef Jamek played a pivotal role. In the 1950s, he was one of a small number of pioneers who focused on wine quality and launched ranges of dry and non-chaptalized wines with lower alcohol than what was typical at the time.
Today, the fourth generation of the Jamek winery cultivates 25 hectares in the most renowned locations in the Wachau. In the well-known steep slope of Ried Klaus, a Riesling with cult status thrives, with a pronounced complexity and the highest level of aroma. The primary rock terraces of the Achleiten and Liebenberg vineyards are known for top-class Grüner Veltliner, which is characterized by the terroir of the Wachau steep slopes.
In addition to the winery, the estate runs a lovely restaurant next to the Danube in Joching, where regional specialities delight all the senses, along with the estate wines by the glass.

The Federspiel style designation is a trademark of the Vinea Wachau winegrowers' association and is used for wines that are rich in nuances and have a strong character. This classic dry wine is an ideal accompaniment to food. The term "Federspiel" comes from falconry, a form of hunting that was popular in the Wachau in earlier times.

ABOUT
This wine is usually referred to as "Federspiel". As nature does, this wine from the 2021 vintage has become a little too strong. With an alcohol content of 13% vol, the designation Federspiel has to be dropped this year. This was the case recently with our 2012 vintage from Ried Klaus. The Klaus is, so to speak, the continuation of the Achleiten, but is separated from it by the path that serves as a border, which also represents a geological fault line. The name can be traced back to the old term "Kleyss" and describes a bottleneck, which is self-explanatory by looking at the old Wachauweg, which leads along the Klaus.
TASTING NOTES
Colors of medium green-yellow with silver reflections. Aromas of honey blossom, peach, mango, tangerine zest and quince. The flavors are juicy and taut with well-integrated acidity and minerality. This wine has notes of white stone fruit on the finish. It’s good to pair with food and has excellent aging potential.

World Cultural Heritage coupled with a landscape that is nothing short of inspirational – welcome to the Wachau, the narrow Danube River valley running from Melk to Krems. Extraordinarily distinctive wines grow here on 1,323 hectares, a great many of them on steeply terraced hillsides, wines which may be declared as “Wachau DAC” as of the 2020 vintage. Some of the world’s greatest white wines, with decades of potential for development, are produced from the best vineyard sites, especially from Grüner Veltliner and Riesling.
Since the mid-1980s, the Wachau winegrowers’ association “Vinea Wachau” has classified the dry white – and on rare occasions also rosé – wines of the Wachau into three categories according to their natural alcohol content. Fragrant light wines up to 11.5% abv are called “Steinfeder” (named after the feathery grass Stipa pennata). The classic category (11.5–12.5% abv) has been christened “Federspiel” (a term used in falconry). Powerful Reserve wines (minimum 12.5% abv) bear the name “Smaragd”, referring to the emerald-coloured lizards that are particularly fond of frolicking in Wachau vineyards on sunny days.
