Youthful color, intense bouquet, complex aromas of pink grapefruit, Nashi pear, verbena, candied orange, and almonds, green tea; an opulent wine with a dense, tightly woven structure, fine tannins, and a fruity, velvety finish; long-lasting, with aging potential (A la Carte)
In 2021 we decided to make a wine as an Hommage to my grandfather Josef Nigl from one of the oldest vineyards in our winery.
When my father took over the winery in 1985 my grandfather already had a vineyard in the Pellingen site.  It was his favorit vineyard that he cultivated and we knew pretty fast that there was only one vineyard for the Hommage Josef Nigl .  Grown on primary rock soil and fermented in small oak casks the hommage is a wine with elegance, structure and depth.
