Martin Nigl Wine
The domaine is situated above the Krems valley, in the village of Priel near Senftenberg. The 25 hectares which make up the estate, are located in several of the best single sites of the Kremstal. His two most important vineyards in the Krems valley are Piri for Riesling and Gruner Veltliner and Hochacker for Riesling. These are two of the top crus of Senftenberg and are extremely steep with a terroir of primary rock. The remaining vineyards are in the town of Krems.
The Urgesteinsriede Kremsleiten is particularly good for Riesling. 40% of the total plantings are Riesling and 40% Gruner Veltliner, the remaining 20% comprise Sauvignon Blanc, Weissburgunder, Chardonnay and Zweigelt. The domaine was founded by Martin’s parents in 1986 and is still run as a family concern. Martin is responsible for the wine making and his brother Josef the vineyard management. The Nigl’s have taken great care to plant each variety in the locations where the micro-climate and terroir best suits them. Josef’s dedicated management in the vineyards and Martin’s flare and skill in the winery combine to produce some of the Kremstal’s most scintillating wines. Nigl’s finest Riesling and Gruner Veltliners are sold under the label “Privat”. The grapes for these wines are grown on old vineyards in the Senftenberger Piri. The rootstocks here are over 35 years of age grown on primary rock soils, producing minute yields. Both the Gruner Veltliner and Riesling Privat are incredibly concentrated with superb complexity and mineral characteristics - and an amazing ability to age.

Scrupulous selection for healthy fruit, Nigl opines, permitted him overnight skin contact which in turn enhanced the intensity of flavors and the medium to full body of the resultant wine. Black currant, huckleberry and green bean aromas lead to a creamy, rich... [more details]

Stone fruits and floral nuances on the nose. Sleek and refreshing but slightly raw and edgy in its youth, with the acid structure currently blocking the wine's intensity and power. This wine calls for bottle aging, but should begin to harmonize by 2008 and off... [more details]

Is a picture perfect example of how this variety can be light in alcohol (11%) yet full of interesting, ripe flavors and (based on its ex-cellars price) represents one of the most outstanding values I tasted on my recent trip. Delicate citrus, floral, sweet pe... [more details]
