The current Nittnaus estate was established by Hans’ grandfather Johann Nittnaus in 1927, and was taken over by Anita & Hans in 1985. In 1990, Hans Nittnaus created the name “Pannobile” from the word “Pannonia” (a Roman word describing the terroir) to produce a terroir driven premium wine using primarily indigenous grapes. This red wine is a 50/50 blend of Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch. The Nittnaus estate utilizes dry farming and all their wines are unfiltered and vegan.

It has risen to fame in its homeland and beyond, and now is the single most widely grown red grape variety in Austria. Offering some of the best attributes of both its parents, Zweigelt is very resistant to frost (an important trait to have when growing in chilly Austria) and ripens relatively early. It combines the...

Austria

Austrian wine is finally getting the attention it deserves. Ever since the late 1980s, Austrian winemaking has taken a much more rigorous approach to quality control, and returned to its roots in organic viticulture.Deservedly famous for its white wines (Grüner Veltliners especially), Austria makes a number of delicious red wines as well.The most widely grown red grape in Austria is Zweigelt (a.k.a.
