The microclimate of Lake Neusiedl and the soils around Halbturn create unique conditions for expressive wines with a strong character.
NESTOR . Wine with a strong character and unmistakable origin
Our aim is to produce expressive wines that are clearly recognizable by their origin:
Multi-layered soils and the special microclimate around the NEUSIEDLERSEE, one of the largest steppe lakes in Europe, give the NESTOR wines from Halbturn their special character and expression.
“The characterful style of NESTOR wines is independent, genuine and emphasizes terroir. Climate and soil conditions are skillfully interpreted. All varieties retain their modern Burgenland character without compromise. This new cool style stands for drinking flow, complexity and spontaneously fermented wines with the lowest possible alcohol content.”
Günther Neukamp & Thomas Stadler
"Probably one of the best Pinot Gris producers in the world!"
Explore the soul of the exclusive NESTOR wine from Halbturn. Wine is formed in the vineyard
Our wines will inspire you, quality through care and closeness to nature.
We have imposed strict self-commitments on ourselves in order to meet our high standards:
Burgenland 100%
For us, the unique taste experience of the different grape varieties, special vintages and special locations is at the forefront of our striving. Terroir, climate and craftsmanship determine the taste.
The intensive examination and knowledge of craft traditions in the leading wine-growing regions of this world and the use of the special soil and climate conditions of our region are the basis for fascinating and characterful wines from the best locations around Halbturn in the Neusiedlersee / Burgenland / Austria region.
In the winery, as in the vineyard, we work according to high quality criteria and as sustainable and natural as possible.
Our single-vineyard wines are not only produced as naturally as possible, but also packaged in a way that conserves resources:
THE SOUL OF Nestor wine is nourished by the soil and the special microclimate around Lake neusiedl
What makes our wines special? Why is every bottle something special? Which emotions accompany our wines from the pruning to the moment of enjoyment in our nose and our palate? Which consciousness accompany our wines?
The Pannonian microclimate and the soils around Lake Neusiedl are unique
The area lies in the heart of the Pannonian climate zone. This climate is characterized by hot, dry summers with moderate rainfall and cold winters with little snow.
An important factor for the microclimate is the largest steppe lake in Central Europe, Lake Neusiedl. Our wines owe their special regional character - juicy and fruity, with a slightly salty flavor - not least to the regional characteristics: small and medium-sized salt and soda lakes, an underground mineral water lake and the special Pannonian microclimate with Lake Neusiedl as a climate regulator.
Old vineyards, quantity reduction and care in the vineyard and during the harvest
Conscious quantity reduction in our vineyard sites and consistent selection before and during the harvest result in yields that are one third of the legally permitted harvest quantities per hectare. For us, sustainable management in the vineyard means ensuring biodiversity and soil fertility, conserving resources and treating the environment and our employees fairly. Harvests at the optimum ripening time, short transport routes from the vineyard to the winery, rapid cooling of the grapes on the farm
Precision craftsmanship supports the character
The intensive study and knowledge of traditional craftsmanship in the world's leading wine-growing regions support the special character of our single-vineyard wines.
The intensive examination of the potential of different cask sizes, wood qualities and differentiated surface finishes determine our striving for perfection.
We combine different barrels and qualities with the aim of supporting the varietal and origin typicity of our wines.

"Perhaps the most astounding of all the fringe variety wines has to be from Neukamp + Stadler with their range of natural wines under the label NESTOR... ... using low intervention methods and specialising in Cabernet Franc and Pinot Gris. From the tiny cellar of this 40 hectare humble operation, both Neukamp and Junior expressed their excitement. The passion for these award-winning, ground-breaking wines was as intoxicating as the esters from the nearby open-top fermenters."
