ABOUT THE WINE
Gebrüder Nittnaus winery lies on the eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl in the heart of Gols, at the centre of one of the largest wine-producing communities in Austria. The family has owned vineyards for more than 300 years and has been running their own winery since 1986. They cultivate 57 hectares in Gols, spread out over more than 70 different vineyard parcels. Almost two-thirds of this area is planted with red wine, primarily indigenous varieties. They cultivate their vines in accordance with organic agricultural principles. The latest generation of Nittnauses, Andreas and Hans Michael, is now responsible for running the winery. 

TASTING NOTES
Bright lemon, grapefruit and gooseberry flavours, with a juicy palate and delicate spice on the finish.

FOOD PAIRING
Ideal with seafood or fresh, crumbly goat's cheese.

FRIARWOOD SAYS
The cool winds which blow from the eastern shores of the Neusiedler See provide an ideal climate for Sauvignon blanc, an increasingly popular varietal in this part of Austria.
