WINE Awards
“The distinctive style of NESTOR wines is independent, authentic and terroir-driven. Climate and soil conditions are interpreted with skill. Every variety uncompromisingly receives its modern Burgenland signature. The style stands for drinkability, complexity and spontaneously fermented single-vineyard wines that tell exciting stories about origin and climate.”
