Nigl Wein

Austria was until recently far from popular as a wine country. Austrian wine was mainly associated with the well-known antifreeze scandal from years ago. However, top winemakers have been producing wonderful wines for several years now! Like the rest of the wine world, Austria has undergone a major evolution in terms of quality. Winery Nigl has been among the top 5 in Austria for several years. The delightful couple Christine and Martin Nigl remain incredibly modest despite their worldwide reputation. That the best wines are made at Nigl and that this can improve every year are some of their healthy principles. The typically Austrian Riesling and Grüner Veltliner are major specialties of winery Nigl. Martin has a great passion for his various vineyards, each of which gives a different terroir expression to the wines. The Nigl vineyards are located on the slopes of the Wachau and Kremstal regions, which are considered Austria’s best for Riesling and Grüner Veltliner. For decades, Nigl has offered a high level from their entry cuvée ‘Gartling’ to their luxury cuvées ‘Reserve’ or ‘Privat’. The best cuvées require bottle aging to reach their full expression.
