The Nigl winery is located at the entrance to Senftenberg at the foot of the Burgberg. Today, the estate has 30 hectares of vineyards spread across the premium sites of the Kremstal. The most important are Pellingen, planted with Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, and Hochäcker, which is planted with Riesling. The vineyards are located near Senftenberg, near Rehberg and in Kremser Rieden.
The best wines in the Nigl range bear the name "Privat". The grapes for the two "Privat" bottlings come from old vineyards in Senftenberg Pellingen. On barren primary rock soils, the 40-year-old vines produce only a very low yield, but all the higher quality: year after year, two great, storable wines of captivating concentration and minerality are produced here. Stuart Pigott says of Martin Nigl's wines: "From the smallest wine to these high peaks, Nigl's white wines are crystal clear and extremely precise in aroma and taste. They combine almost indecent charm and great elegance; simply brilliant!" One can only agree with this statement without contradiction.
Incidentally, the Nigl family also runs a restaurant and a small hotel in Senftenberg, which guarantees a pleasant stay in the Kremstal.
