The "Martin and Christine Nigl" winery is located in the municipality of Senftenberg in the Kremstal wine-growing region (Lower Austria). The building below the Senftenberg ruins, which formerly served the Starhemberg domain as a reading farm and whose core dates back to the 12th century, was restored and remodelled and became the new domicile in 2004. In addition to the winery, it also houses a hotel and a restaurant. The vineyards cover 25 hectares of vines, which are widely scattered in the Dornleiten, Gärtling, Freiheit, Hochäcker, Kremsleiten and Piri vineyards. They are 90% planted with the white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner (40%), Riesling (40%), Sauvignon Blanc, Gelber Muskateller and Chardonnay, with the remaining 10% planted with Zweigelt.
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
