Descrizione

The Riesling - Privat Ried Hochacker from Weingut Nigl is a sublime expression of elegance and complexity. Produced in the renowned region of Lower Austria, this white wine stands out for its distinctive character and intense minerality. The Ried Hochacker vineyard, from which the grapes are sourced, is known for its mineral-rich soil that imparts unique nuances and an intensely layered flavor to the wine.

On the nose, Nigl's Riesling reveals seductive aromas of white peach, citrus, and delicate floral notes, enriched by a touch of honey and wet stone. On the palate, the lively acidity perfectly harmonizes with the mineral structure, leading to a long and persistent finish that leaves a pleasantly fresh and clean sensation.

Ideal as an aperitif, this Riesling pairs excellently with flavorful fish dishes, spicy Asian cuisine, or fresh cheeses. Serve chilled to enhance all its qualities. Bottle aging promises a favorable evolution, increasing the complexity of aromas and flavors over time. A true gem for lovers of high-quality Austrian white 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.
