With Weingut Moric, founded in 2001, Roland Velich has fundamentally reshaped the perception of Austrian wine. At its core is Blaufränkisch from old vineyards in Lutzmannsburg, interpreted with great care, imagination, and respect for origin and history. The wines combine depth, precision, and elegance and have for many years been internationally recognised as leading expressions of their grape variety. Following the re-evaluation of Blaufränkisch in Lutzmannsburg, the focus turns eastward to Hungary. In Tokaj, Moric is dedicated to Furmint, a grape variety with a centuries-old history. Crafted in a dry, finely nuanced style, the wines clearly reflect climate, soil, and provenance, contributing to a new positioning of Tokaj.
2023 Ried Kirchberg
Lutzmannsburg
Blaufränkisch
Red wine
The Ried Kirchberg was planted between 1921 and the 1980s and stands as the coolest and steepest north-west facing slope nestled among forest towards at the foothills of the Lutzmannsburg plateau, with soils rich in limestone and chalk bringing a much more fruit forward expression of blaufränkisch.
2023 Ried Schwemmer
Lutzmannsburg
Blaufränkisch
Red wine
The Ried Schwemmer is a gently sloping, east-facing vineyard, slightly warmer than Ried Kirchberg due to extended morning sun exposure. The youngest vines were planted in the 1970s, while the oldest date back to the 1930s. The subsoil is rich in calcareous sand, with varying pockets of heavy clay, loam, and sand in the topsoil, contributing to the wine’s power, tannic structure, and fullness.
2023 Ried Maissner
Lutzmannsburg
Blaufränkisch
Red wine
The Ried Maissner is a south-facing vineyard at the highest point of the Lutzmannsburg Plateau, home to some of our oldest vines on iron-rich soils. The oldest were planted in 1908, while the youngest date back to the 1930s. Perched atop the primordial volcano, the vineyard’s topsoil is a dynamic mix of heavy clay and sand deposits. In just a few steps, the composition shifts from dense clay to patches of sand, yet the site remains remarkably uniform, enriched by limestone sediments from the Pannonian Sea.
2024 ‘G’ Görbe dűlő
Tállya, Tokaj
Furmint
White wine
Görbe is a south-facing slope located at 180–200 meters above sea level, in the village of Tállya— about 20 minutes northwest of central Tokaj. The vineyard is planted with old vines, the youngest dating from the 1970s and the oldest over 100 years old. The soils are composed of volcanic rhyolite tuff and rhyolite, with variations formed by post-volcanic activity, including silicified tuff.
