Nikolaihof Description
Nikolaihof’s holdings are some of the farthest east in the Wachau near the village of Mautern on the Danube’s south bank. These are also some of the oldest known vineyards in Europe with sites such as “im Weingebirge” being mentioned as far back as 470AD. Whether it’s Nikolaus biodynamic know-how, his focus on ancestral vinification techniques, or the quality of his terroir, the resulting wines are wildly unique and joyful. They are singular wines; irreplicable anywhere else in the wine making world.
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Hefeabzug comes from various sites and is, in fact, the same wine as Zwickl, but filtered. Reduction is similar, though the fruit is more subdued. The palate is smooth and slightly smoky, yet equally snappy.
