Weingut Nikolaihof Wachau

With almost 2,000 years of history, Nikolaihof is the oldest winery in Austria. In 1894 the Saahs family acquired Nikolaihof and carried on the traditions the monks had established on integrated farming. Winemaking and grape growing took a larger role at Nikolaihof in the 1960s and the estate has always been organic, with chemicals never used in farming. Nikolaihof has been practicing biodynamics since 1971, making them one of the longest Bio-dynamic practicing wineries in the world. The estate became Demeter certified Bio-dynamic in 1998.
