data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNikolaihof is the oldest wine estate in Austria dating back two thousand years. Its history is well-documented due to the historical and religious significance of the site. Originally established as a Roman fort in 63 BC, the current buildings stand on the original foundations and the barrel cellar itself is constructed in the Roman crypt. At one stage it was an early Christian Agapit basilica with documentation of a synod held there in 985 AD. In 1075 AD it was recorded as the administrative seat of the Passau monastery of St Nikola and the present chapel was built by Augustinian Canons of the monastery in the 15th century. Winemaking on the site can be traced back to the Celts, with the first documented reference to wine from 470 AD. Today this historic estate is owned and run by the Saahs family, who are natural custodians of its unique heritage.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNikolaus Saahs (Jnr) runs the Nikolaihof estate on strict bio-dynamic principles and it is possibly Europe’s first ever bio-dynamic winery with the practices being used since 1971 (before Nicolas Joly even!). They were certified in the early 1990s, when Demeter first introduced vineyard and winery certification. They also practice what they preach, as even the more spiritual elements of bio-dynamics seem to fit perfectly with the history of the estate.

In the cellar A-J works with indigenous yeasts and without additives - with the exception of a small amount of sulfites. Élevage is either in stainless steel, old barriques of various sizes, or extremely old large Alsatian foudre (some over 100 years old). A-J is meticulously clean in the cellar, and this shows in the wines – they are of extremely high calibre, faultless, and can stay open for days without any issue.

In the Süd-Pfalz, where the estate is located, limestone terroir rules and it is ubiquitously present in one part of the Im Sonnenschein (or in the sunshine). In the Ganzhorn, a small sub parcel of colored sandstone in the Im Sonnenschein vineyard, Riesling turns salty, savory and fantastically mineral-driven. Last but not least there is the Kastanienbusch (or chestnut bush), one of the steepest and highest slopes in the Pfalz at 300 meters, on red slate soil that is unusual in the region. This iron-rich, well-draining soil produce wines of great concentration. It simply produces some of the greatest dry Rieslings not only in Germany – but anywhere. Rebholz’ oldest vineyard, the Albertsweiler Latt, in Albersweil was planted to Gewurztraminer in 1947. The vines are trellised on pergolas.

Its history is well-documented due to the historical and religious significance of the site. Originally established as a Roman fort in 63 BC, the current buildings stand on the original foundations and the barrel cellar itself is constructed in the Roman crypt. At one stage it was an early Christian Agapit basilica with documentation of a synod held there in 985 AD. In 1075 AD it was recorded as the administrative seat of the Passau monastery of St Nikola and the present chapel was built by Augustinian Canons of the monastery in the 15th century. Winemaking on the site can be traced back to the Celts, with the first documented reference to wine from 470 AD.
