Nikolaihof Gewurtztraminer 2009
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 according to the regulations of the Demeter Association. In 1894 the Saahs family took over the estate and carried on the traditions the monks had established here. Integrated farming continued, and even as winemaking and grape growing took a larger role at Nikolaihof in the 1960s, chemicals were never used in farming. Nikolaihof has been practicing Bio-dynamics since 1971, making them one of the longest Bio-dynamic practicing wineries in the world. Nikolaihof became Demeter certified Biodynamic in 1998. Annual bottle production of 95 000 bottles.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Gewürztraminer, from the Wachau region of Austria. Vines are over 15 years old, at an altitude of over 200 meters and on slate soils
Taste Profile: A dry white wine with good acidity. It is very aromatic and a slightly herbaceous background. With age, the oxidative style of Nikolaihof opens up, exposing stewed dried stone fruit notes. An ideal wine with spicy food.
Winemaking Process: The grapes ferment spontaneously with autochthonous yeasts, Aged in large old oak barrels
