The "Gebrüder Nittnaus" winery is located in the municipality of Gols (Untere Hauptstraße 105) in the Burgenland wine-growing region of Neusiedlersee (Austria) on the eastern shore of the lake. The family was first mentioned as owners of a vineyard as early as 1683, so they have been cultivating wine for over 300 years. Since 2019, the winery has been run by the brothers Andreas and Hans Michael Nittnaus. The house trademark is a geometrically stylised grape. For decades, the family winery has focused on the potential and diversity of the vineyards in the Neusiedler See region, which impressively represent the fruitiness of Burgenland wines.
The vineyards cover 57 hectares of vineyards in the Edelgrund, Gabarinza, Goldberg, Kurzberg, Luckenwald, Neuberg, Salzberg and Ungerberg vineyards, which are spread over around 70 plots. Two thirds of the vineyards are planted with red wine varieties such as Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch and Pinot Noir, and one third with white wine varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner and Muskat Ottonel. According to the philosophy of the house, the winery stands for excellent wine qualities, handshake quality and sustainable commitment. The ecological cultivation is carried out according to the certified rules of Nachhaltig Austria (seal of quality for sustainably produced wines). This includes preserving biodiversity, maintaining climate neutrality, treating nature with care and social aspects.
