The Healthiest Wine in the World
For the first time ever the quality of a wine can be quantified in terms of its health-giving properties. The German Society for Environmental and Human Toxology (DGUHT) is now able to demonstrate the stress level of a wine within the parameter of pH value, redox potential and conductivity.
The Nikolaihof Vom Stein Riesling Federspiel has the best results and is by a large margin the healthiest wine in the world of all those that have been tested. So drinking this Riesling Federspiel is not only a gastronomic pleasure but also contributes greatly to the health of the drinker. Nikolaihof is the first wine estate in the world to receive an award for the healthiness of its wine.
By using only natural nutrients, maintaining the health of the soil and carrying out all work with close reference to the moon calendar – all criteria which are strictly observed on a biodynamically-run estate – the stress levels can be significantly lowered. As a consequence the wine retains a considerable quantity of secondary plant matter, which can then strengthen the body's defences against, for example, premature ageing, allergies, hypersensitivities, heart and circulation diseases, cancer and many more. Nikolaihof's Riesling Federspiel contains the greatest quantity of these life forces.
Beverage Testing Institute
At the tasting of the Beverage Testing Institute – the most important American wine recommendation organisation – Nikolaihof Wachau was the highest placed of Austrian white wine producers.
1990 Nikolaihof Riesling Vinothek, with 94 points out of 100 is judged the best Austrian dry white wine on the American market.
2002 Nikolaihof Im Weingebirge Grüner Veltliner Smaragd received 90 marks out of 100.
Biodynamic working methods give the wine beneficial qualities, power, particularly long keeping potential and, above all, an extraordinarily fine taste.
Every year Nikolaihof wine is amongst the best at this tasting, and is now for the third time the best dry Austrian white wine.
