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
Light yellow colour wine with intensely fragrant, but delicate herbal aromas. Elegant and juicy palate with fruits reminding us of gooseberries. Spicy, yet delicious and harmonious finish.
FOOD PAIRING
Excellent with Thai and Vietnamese dishes, light appetisers or grilled salmon.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
The Neusiedler See is a remarkably shallow lake, the remnants of an inland sea. The waters warm the surrounding region in winter, preventing serious winter-frost damage for the vines which hug the shorelines.
