Discover more about Winery Nigl

Weingut Nigl, a renowned winery and hotel, is located in Senftenberg, Austria, in the heart of the Krems Valley. This family-owned estate is celebrated for its exceptional wines, stunning location, and dedication to preserving the region's winemaking heritage. The Nigl family's history in the area dates back centuries, with the estate itself having origins as a 12th-century reading farm of Prince Starhemberg. In 1994, the Nigl family took over the property, transforming it into the esteemed winery it is today. Martin Nigl, along with his family, passionately cultivates some of the best vineyard sites in the Krems Valley, producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. The winery's location at the foot of the Senftenberg Kirchenberg offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The terraced vineyards, a hallmark of the Wachau-Kremstal region, create a stunning backdrop for wine tasting and exploration. These terraces, carved into the hillsides, not only add to the visual appeal but also play a crucial role in the quality of the wines. The stone walls retain heat, providing optimal growing conditions for the grapes, while the steep slopes ensure excellent drainage. Weingut Nigl specializes in Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, two of Austria's most iconic grape varieties. The winery's commitment to quality begins in the vineyards, where sustainable practices are employed to ensure the health of the vines and the environment. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested, with multiple passes through the vineyards to select only the ripest fruit. This meticulous approach results in wines of exceptional finesse, elegance, and complexity. The unique soil conditions and climate of the Krems Valley contribute to the distinctive character of Nigl wines. The primary rock soils, composed of weathered granite, gneiss, mica slate, and amphibolite, impart a distinct minerality to the wines. The region's location on the edge of the cultivation zone, combined with significant temperature fluctuations during the ripening period, creates wines with cool aromas and refreshing acidity. Hot summer days are followed by cool nights, which enhance the development of complex flavors and aromas in the grapes. Visitors to Weingut Nigl can experience the full range of the winery's offerings. The estate also features a hotel and restaurant, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the ambiance of centuries-old history while savoring regional delicacies paired with the winery's finest offerings. The nearby Senftenberg castle ruins, perched high above the town, provide panoramic views of the Krems Valley and offer a glimpse into the region's rich history.
