Since the 2019 harvest, Günther Neukamp and Thomas Stadler have been bottling single vineyard Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, and Pinot Gris wines under the brand names "NESTOR" and "NEUKAMP & STADLER".
The 39 hectares of vineyards surrounding Halbturn have yielded excellent grapes for over 40 years. The best sites produce wines under the "NESTOR" brand.
A conscious reduction in the number of vines planted in these sustainably cultivated sites, careful selection during harvest, and elaborate and technically demanding vinification processes create exceptional wines with a unique character that will age well.
Almost all premium wines are aged on fine lees in limited quantities of 3,000 to 4,000 bottles per variety in French barriques and 500-litre oak casks from renowned cooperages. Batonnage and 12 (white) or 18 (red) months of barrel ageing create elegant wine rarities that open their drinking window just two years after harvest. Vintage and varietal typicity determine the characteristics of the "NESTOR" wines. In particular, the vineyard area under Cabernet Franc and Pinot Gris has increased since 2019 in response to strong demand.
