The "Gebrüder Nittnaus" winery is located in the municipality of Gols (Untere Hauptstraße 105) in the Burgenland wine-growing region of Neusiedlersee (Austria) on the eastern shore of the lake. The family was first mentioned as owners of a vineyard as early as 1683, so they have been cultivating wine for over 300 years. Since 2019, the winery has been run by the brothers Andreas and Hans Michael Nittnaus. The house trademark is a geometrically stylised grape. For decades, the family winery has focused on the potential and diversity of the vineyards in the Neusiedler See region, which impressively represent the fruitiness of Burgenland wines.
