Prepare yourself for a burst of refreshing flavors.

Nikolaihof produces one of the finest Gruner-Veltliners.  

The winery is also a bio-diverse farm, growing various herbs, fruit, and flowers - even tending to beehives for honey.  

The interplay of these elements amplifies the nuances in the "Hefeabzug" cuvee, a wildly unique wine irreplicable in the wine world!

Green pear, white peach, pith, fresh arugula, white pepper, dried herbs, tropical fruit, and lemon zest ripple through the glass.  A finish that never ends is loaded with sea breeze and vibrant minerality.  Simply put, it's like springtime in a glass!

A few highlights worth noting...

Dating back to the Roman empire, the Nikolaihof winey is one of the oldest wine estates in Austria.  The winery is demeter certified and has been practicing bio-dynamics since 1971, making them one of the longest bio-dynamic practicing wineries in the world.

Why is this relevant?

Biodynamic, non-interventionist farming allows the grapes to express their true and fullest character.  In this case, the result is simply outstanding!

Among the many wonderful attributes of Gruner-Veltliner is its ability to pair with foods often a challenge in the culinary world.  For example, avocado, artichokes, asparagus, and every manner of obstreperous veggie, this Gruner Veltliner loves them.

Enjoy!
