The Nittnaus winery is located in Gols on the eastern side of Lake Neusiedl between the higher Platte in the north and the flat Heideboden in the south and has always been closely associated with viticulture. The estate, built in 1927, was taken over and modernised by Anita and Hans "John" Nittnaus in 1985. The 30 hectares of vineyards are spread over the northern edge of the lake from Mönchhof to Purbach, with a focus on Gols and Jois. 90 percent of the area is planted with red wine varieties (Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, Merlot, St. Laurent) and just under 10 percent with white wine varieties (Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner, Furmint). An important principle at the winery is: "We don't 'make' the wine, we try to support it in its development." For this reason, the company switched to biodynamic farming methods in 2006. At the top of the range are two cuvées: the powerful "Comondor" (Merlot/Blaufränkisch) and the elegant "Pannobile" (Zweigelt/Blaufränkisch). For some years now, the top Blaufränkisch from Leithaberg - the "Jungenberg" (formerly "Tannenberg") and the "Gritschenberg" - have also been important flagship wines.
Great successes and first places were achieved at the Falstaff red wine awards with "Comondor" 2006, "Pannobile" 2010 as well as Leithaberg DAC Ried Joiser Gritschenberg 2015, 2016 and 2017 and Leithaberg DAC Ried Joiser Jungenberg 2017. The increasingly important Blaufränkisch range is complemented by a somewhat lighter "Kalk & Schiefer" Blaufränkisch. The medium-priced soft and fruity red wine cuvée "Heideboden" is also particularly important in the portfolio. The white wine range is completed by Chardonnay from the Joiser Leithaberg vineyards Freudshofer and Bergschmallister.
