Nature as the Highest Form of Quality
In Appiano, Thomas Niedermayr produces natural wines
“Anyone who has specialized in the production of natural wines has to accompany the wine along its entire path.” Thomas Niedermayrof the estate winery of the same name in Appiano views himself as just
such a companion, as someone who wishes to guarantee purity and wants to
support nature in its own production. “In the end,” his credo goes, “nature is the highest form of quality.”
The
fact that top-quality wines can only come from grapes that are grown in
a healthy environment is obvious for Niedermayr. For that reason, he
manages his Gandberg estate ecologically. Growing and thriving between
the grapevines, the visitor is greeted by chickens and runner ducks, the
vines themselves are fungus-resistant, and the use of chemicals and
other artificial aids is avoided. “We leave room for nature,” Niedermayr
says.
In the case of the Gandberg Hof, nature starts right
around the farmhouse. The vineyards are located at an elevation between
500 and 530 meters. Their microclimate is influenced on one hand by the
ice holes and on the other hand by the Gandberg mountain itself, which
rises up behind the farmhouse.
The special natural features and
the sustainable management can be tasted in the wines from the Thomas
Niedermayr Eppan Winery in Appiano. And that should
also be tasted, says Niedermayr. “My entire commitment is targeted
toward my wines radiating that which accompanies and guides their
creation process” the winegrower says: “tranquility and relaxation, depth and the force of nature, lightheartedness and the pleasure of enjoyment.”
