About The Producer

With almost 2,000 years of history, Nikolaihof is the oldest winery in Austria and one of the first in the world to have begun working by biodynamic principles. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermented without artificial yeast and stored in big, old Austrian oak casks. Nikolaihof is one of the most exciting wineries in the Wachau today, ask any serious sommelier his or her shortlist of the best of Austria and Nikolaihof will be on there. It was, at various times, a celtic place of worship, part of a Roman fort, a bishop's seat and an administrative center. History and tradition prevail in these focused, lip-smacking wines.

Vinous
Bottled in June 2016, this texturally silken, supremely elegant effort transparently and kaleidoscopically combines moss, wet stone, gentian, buddleia, coriander, pepper, piquant yet rich nut oils and a saline clam broth savor that milks the salivary glands. But besides this impressive array of non-fruity components, white peach and lemon deliver abundant primary juiciness and animating tang, rendering the finish as invigorating and refreshing as it is vibrant, mouthwatering and dynamically complex. Given all of the experience we now have with Austrian Riesling and Gruner Veltliner of this vintage, high hopes were bound to have been riding on the latest edition of Steiner Hund. Happily, they have not been disappointed!
