Josef Jamek is Austrian 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 extremely focused on wine quality and launched ranges of dry and non-chaptalised wines with lower alcohol than was typical.
Today, the fourth generation of the Jamek-Family is taking care of the estates´ vineyards. In top vignards like Ried Klaus and Ried Achleiten the typical varieties Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are planted. Some others like Muskateller, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay are traditional varieties in the Wachau-Valley.
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.

ABOUT | 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. The Achleiten vineyard is one of the most famous vineyards in the Wachau and the largest vineyard in the municipality of Weißenkirchen. As impressive as the appearance of the site, which stretches from the Danube up into the forest, is just as impressive are the wines that are pressed from here. The location is very complex and the soils have different origins. There are classic weathered soils from paragneiss and the migmatite-amphibolite that occurs particularly here. In the upper part there are also foothills of Gföhler gneiss. The complexity of the situation is also due to the large differences in altitude, which are between 209 and 357 m above sea level. The part of the name "Ach-" refers to the designation of a flowing body of water (Latin aqua), the "-lead" to the sloping slope. With a maximum gradient of 83% and an average gradient of 41%, cultivation is only possible in the form of terraced viticulture. For this reason, terrace walls made of natural stone were built here over many hundreds of years. These walls are very well permeable to water and are only held by the weight of the stones and by friction, which is maximized as much as possible through the skillful laying of the stones. The craft of building these walls is still passed on from one generation to the next.
TASTING NOTES | Primary rock terrace location, location-typical, fine-spicy bouquet.

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 | The primary rock terrace location, complex aroma and fragrant acidity.
ALCOHOL | 13%
