Weingut Christian Nastl und NastlHeuriger

Weingut Nastl on Gartenzeile in Langenlois is a family business in the Kamptal whose winegrowing was first mentioned in 1656. It includes the NastlHeuriger, known for the Sausemmel, which regular guests invented there more than 25 years ago.

The family

Today Renate and Günter Nastl run the business with their children Christian, Alexander and Petra.

• Christian: responsible for the cellar, with experience from Germany, the USA and New Zealand; he looks after the vineyards together with his father.
• Günter: the senior boss, in the vineyard and as host at the Heuriger.
• Renate: cooks for the Heuriger and takes care of marketing.
• Alexander: works in the insurance industry, helps out at the winery and handles social media.

Wine from Langenlois vineyards

The grapes come from single vineyards (Rieden) such as Steinmassl, Kittmannsberg, Spiegel, Käferberg and Liss. In the cellar, which is on three levels, the grapes are moved gently and by gravity alone. Since 2016 the winery has held the "Nachhaltig Österreich" certificate.

The range extends from the fruity VelKam line via typical Kamptal Veltliners and Rieslings to the "NastlGiganten" from single vineyards. In the online shop it is divided into the lines NastlFruchtig, NastlKamptalDAC, NastlExklusiv and NastlRot; if you subscribe to the newsletter, you get a discount on your next order.

The Heuriger

You sit in the parlour under an old press beam or in the garden under the walnut tree. Renate Nastl cooks seasonal specialities, plus the Sausemmel with roast pork and dripping, which is also available preserved in jars for home.

• Open (in season): for a few weeks each in spring and late summer, Tuesday to Saturday from late afternoon, and in autumn at weekends as a Sturmheuriger. The current dates are on the website.

• Celebrations: private parties and wine tastings on request.
• TOP Heuriger: according to the business, it was one of the first in Langenlois with this quality seal.
