Nikolaihof

Producer website

Please note that while most wines of this Wachau producer are from that region, there is one property (Steiner Hund) that is actually in the Kremstal, and so is ineligible for the nomenclature used on Wachau wines. The Steiner Hund wine (one of Nikolaihof's top wines) has been variously described over the years as a Trockener Riesling Spätlese or a Riesling Trocken Reserve. The region 'Wachau' on Steiner Hund wines are incorrect--it should be 'Kremstal', but I'm having trouble changing it. Anyone help with this?

The wines are now produced biodynamically.

This former monastery in Mautern is now owned by the Saah family, who also serve their exquisite biodynamic fare in an onsite restaurant, an ideal place for a visit while in the valley spending a warm evening out under the ancient Imperial Linden tree in the courtyard, tasting wine, eating, and being regaled with Christine Saah's wonderful hospitality, close to heaven on earth for such as we. Highly recommended and a superb producer. jht

Lower Austria Wine Region

Lower Austria isn't "southern" Austria, but rather northeastern. It derives its name from its downriver location on the Danube River, which flows from west to east.
