About the manufacturer
Anita and Hans Nittnau
Nittnaus is a winery with a long tradition in Burgenland that you absolutely should know. Anita and Hans have made a name for themselves as pioneers of Austrian Red Wine – with a clear philosophy: authentic, characterful Wines that honestly reflect their terroir.
The location is legendary: In the Seewinkel region, where a continental climate meets mineral-rich soils, Wines of impressive depth are produced. Here you'll find their renowned cuvées such as Pannobile and the Gritschenberg selection, which showcase what distinguishes this winery – power and elegance in perfect harmony.
What makes Nittnaus special is their uncompromising commitment to quality. Their Wines aren't pleasing in the traditional sense, but rather honest and thought-provoking. They age beautifully, developing their full complexity over time. These are Wines for contemplation, not for casual sipping.
At Wine In Time you will find a carefully curated selection of these Burgenland classics – because we know that true quality and authenticity are not equally well maintained everywhere.

The Nittnaus Anita and Hans Gritschenberg 2021 is a single-varietal Blaufränkisch that embodies all the finesse of the Leithaberg region. The Nittnaus winery is one of the most prestigious in Burgenland , and this wine impressively demonstrates why: old vines on calcareous soil, spontaneously fermented, and aged in large wooden barrels – here, terroir is not only respected but celebrated.
The vinification follows the principle of minimal intervention: hand-harvesting, spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts, and no unnecessary intervention. Aging in used barrels allows the fruit to take center stage and emphasizes the crystalline structure that the limestone imparts to the Blaufränkisch. The result is a wine that doesn't impose itself, but rather invites you – to patience, to attention, to enjoyment.
On the nose, you'll find aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, and a hint of violets, underpinned by delicate herbal notes and a subtle touch of pepper. On the palate, the Gritschenberg is dense and juicy, with a tannin structure that is present but never overpowering. The minerality of the limestone shines through, accompanied by cool spice and a freshness that keeps the wine vibrant. The finish is long and precise, leaving you with the impression that every detail is perfect.
Ordering from Wine In Time means you'll receive this exceptional Red Wine quickly and securely at your home – in Vienna, even via express delivery on the same day. Austrian wine culture at its finest, Available immediately.
The Gritschenberg is best served slightly chilled at 16–18 °C. It pairs wonderfully with braised beef, game, mature hard cheeses, or vegetarian braised dishes with root vegetables. A wine that needs space – and deserves it.
