Traminer In Haiden, Zillinger

Right on the eastern border with Slovakia lies the village of Ebenthal. Here, Herbert Zillinger makes his biodynamic wines and is becoming a hit. Master of Wine Jancis Robinson idolizes his Grüner Veltliner and Traminer. This Traminer from Haiden is a rich, sultry dry white wine with aromas of lychee, apricot, peach, and mango, as well as wet forest, green herbs, and floral notes. Fine acidity gives the wine a punch. Also try his Traminer Profund.

“… Zillinger is one of the very best wineproducers in the Weinviertel , and I can only recommend to check out his vibrant and characterful style. Just do not expect any easy-drinking tutti frutti wines here. These are serious wines made for aging and sophisticated menus.” - Parker's Wine Advocate taster Stephan Reinhardt

“ … One of the most exciting wineproducers anywhere !… underpriced and undercelebrated… I am also very impressed by Herbert Zillinger's Grüner Veltliner… The real discovery as far as I am concerned is Herbert Zillinger, whose white wines are exceptionally good .”  - Jancis Robinson MW
