Wine Information:
With the new site-classification (or rather the updating of the old one), the parcel-name
will appear on Nigl’s labels. The “Privat” wines have – with very few exceptions –
always come from this vineyard, a steep slope below the Hochäcker with only a wall
separating the two. Soil is the mica-schist variant of Urgestein.
Martin insists this is even better than the A.R., and he may be right. At first it’s juicier,
less adamant, but the wine is still holding some cards. You see its open creamy texture
but only catch glimpses of its depths. Decanting will help. What peeks out is complex,
“sweet” Urgestein, spicy and nettle-y but also the iris notes of great GrüVe.
