Descrizione

The Gruner Veltliner Eiswein from Weingut Nigl is an exceptional example of dessert wine from the renowned wine-making region of Austria. Made from Gruner Veltliner grapes harvested at an advanced stage of ripeness, this wine is characterized by its extraordinary concentration of natural sugars, achieved through the process of freezing the grapes directly on the vine.

On the nose, the Gruner Veltliner Eiswein reveals an intense and complex aromatic palette, with notes of ripe exotic fruit such as pineapple and mango, accompanied by hints of honey and minerality. On the palate, the sweetness is perfectly balanced by a fresh acidity that bestows the wine with a long-lasting persistence and elegant balance.

Ideal as an accompaniment at the end of a meal, this wine pairs magically with blue cheeses or fruit-based desserts. Serve it chilled to highlight all its qualities and prepare for a rich and memorable tasting experience. The limited production and artisanal care from Weingut Nigl make each bottle of this Eiswein a true treasure for lovers of high-quality sweet wines.

Winery history

The Nigl family has worked vineyards in the area for generations and, since the 1990s, has focused entirely on wine production. Over the years the family has reclaimed and re-cultivated abandoned terraced vineyards in Senftenberg, acquired large parts of the former Starhemberg complex in the mid-1990s, and between 2003 and 2004 restored the building beneath the Senftenberg fortress, converting it into a property with a hotel and restaurant.

Production philosophy

The stated objective is to convey the vineyard’s elements into the bottle with balance — fruit, finesse, elegance, density and minerality — prioritizing hand-tended vineyard care and winemaking that respects the terroir.

Terroir and vineyards

The winery’s vineyards extend from Senftenberg to Krems in the narrow Krems valley. Terraced exposures and soils rich in micaceous schist and loess, together with the valley’s microclimate, are considered decisive for the particular minerality and finesse of the Grüner Veltliner and Riesling produced at the estate. Vineyard sites: Hochäcker, Pellingen, Goldberg, Zwetl, Kirchenberg.

Awards and recognitions

The winery reports recent accolades, including gold medals at the Decanter World Wine Awards for several wines, as well as mentions and wins in tastings and guides. The winery also notes the Ala Carte 2026 recognition for the Grüner Veltliner Pellingen 1ÖTW Privat 2025, as indicated by the winery.
