About us - NEUKAMP & STADLER

NESTOR is born from the collaboration of people who take wine seriously. Not as a product, but as an expression of origin, craftsmanship, and attitude. The wines come from Halbturn. From vineyards that have been trusted for years. And from an environment that allows ripening without accelerating it.

The Idea Behind Nestor

NESTOR was born from a shared conviction: that good wines need time, experience, and clear decisions. What has come together here is not a short-term project, but a collaboration that has grown since 2018 – based on trust, heritage, and high standards.

NEUKAMP & STADLER ORIGINAL = NE.ST.OR

Günther Neukamp

Günther Neukamp

Günther Neukamp comes from entrepreneurial practice. Strategic thinking, international experience and a clear eye for quality shape his approach. His path to wine was not accidental, but a conscious decision. Sensory training, further education and engagement with origin are part of it – not as duty, but out of conviction.

Thomas Stadler

Thomas Stadler

Thomas Stadler is responsible for viticulture and vinification. He works with the sites, not against them. His signature is calm and precise. Vintages are not bent, but read. Only wines that carry this standard become part of NESTOR.

Collaboration & Attitude

Collaboration & Attitude

NESTOR works because responsibilities are clearly distributed. Idea, implementation and accountability interlock. Experience in the cellar, understanding of markets and respect for origin form the basis – without volume, without staging.

Origin & Trust

Origin & Trust

NESTOR stands for wines from Halbturn, for origin that needs no explanation, and for collaboration at eye level. 42 ha of sustainably managed vineyards of the Stadler family are the solid basis for terroir- and varietal-typical wines.

“Probably Celts already drank wines from the area around Halbturn, in any case Romans and Habsburgs did.”

Romans in Halbturn

The area around Halbturn is considered Austria’s oldest winegrowing region. Even the Celts are said to have practiced viticulture on the gently sloping hills of the Parndorf Plateau. When the Romans took possession of the area in 9 AD, this led to a massive upswing in viticulture in the region.

The region around Halbturn was therefore already settled in Roman times. Archaeological excavations uncovered an imperial-era burial ground as well as a Roman villa.

Cistercian Monks and Wine

Written records begin with the donation by King Andrew II in 1217, documenting viticulture by Cistercian monks in the region from that time onward.

Halbturn and the Imperial House

The first documentary mention of Halbturn was in 1466. The Hungarian King Louis II granted the estate to his wife Mary, sister of Habsburg Ferdinand I, as a widow’s property. In 1526, after Louis II’s death, Mary took up her widow’s seat and stayed in the county until 1528. After Mary’s death, the property returned to direct Habsburg administration.

In 1711, the baroque palace built by Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt was completed and served Emperor Charles VI as a hunting lodge.
