Winery

Franz-Josef Gritsch

The FJ Gritsch winery is located at the historic church square in Spitz an der Donau, where the Mauritiushof, an impressive building from the 13th century, stands as a landmark of centuries-old winemaking tradition that the Gritsch family has passionately maintained for over 200 years.

Since September 2022, a modern extension with a "wine experience world" has complemented the old walls, bringing fresh wind into the traditional surroundings.

Just a little further lies the Kalmuck cellar, equipped with the latest technology and embodying the perfect combination of traditional craftsmanship and innovation.

The Gritsch family uniquely combines tradition and innovation by creating a harmonious symbiosis between man and nature to produce wines of the highest quality. For the family, tradition does not mean stagnation but the vibrant continuation of their heritage into the future. Their tireless commitment and pursuit of perfection are reflected in every drop of wine that comes from this special terroir.

The Mauritiushof combines cultivated tradition with stylish modernity. In addition to direct sales, the winery offers exclusive wine tastings, events, and comfortable accommodations. Guests can discover the world of wine in the new tasting rooms and show cellars and benefit from the Gritsch family's expertise. The holiday apartments overlooking the Ried Singerriedel vineyard allow guests to enjoy the sunrise in a picturesque landscape.
