Lower Austria
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.
No herbicides, fertilisers, pesticides, or synthetic sprays are used in the vineyards. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermented with wild yeasts and stored in big old Austrian oak casks up to 20 years.
Letting nature take its course, meddling as little as possible, and giving the wines plenty of time to develop - that’s the wine-growing philosophy of Nikolaus Saahs. The wines are focused, full of youthful longevity, complex, with a modest alcohol content and reflect the terroir perfectly.
The estate cultivates mostly Riesling, Grüner Veltliner and Neuburger grapes.
