D’Amato & Szabo: Wine Thieves – Episode 17

Green Austria Part II: Biodynamic Austria

Still unraveling grüner Austria, the Thieves dig into biodynamic history and practices at Austria’s oldest Demeter-certified winery (2nd oldest in the world). We speak to current generation winegrower Nikolaus Saahs at his estate in the village of Mautern on the southern side of the Danube in the Wachau about the winemaking legacy that dates back 2,000 years. Nikolaus offers a frank, insider’s perspective on new green certifications, what it means to live a true biodynamic lifestyle and the transition of Biodynamics (and organics) from the narrow margins to the forefront of fine wines. So put away your Stein-er, grab a wein glass and Thun-in for a holistic episode featuring avant-and-arriere-garde Austria.
