Grüner Veltliner, Herbert Zillinger
An exciting Grüner Veltliner from the charming Herbert Zillinger. A dry white wine, biodynamic. Full-bodied and mineral. Also with notes of ripe apple and pear, stony notes, and white pepper. Moreover, very rich and full-bodied, with a very long finish. A great pleasure wine from the Weinviertel region of Lower Austria. Wine from Austria.
Herbert and Carmen Zillinger live and work in Ebenthal, a village right on the Slovakian border in northeastern Austria. They make wines at three levels: Neuland as an entry-level wine, Horizont as a mid-range wine, and the top-tier lines Radikal, Elementar, and Profund. The latter applies to the Traminer, also known as Savagnin (Jura) and Heida (Switzerland).
Radikal and Elementar are the flagship lines for Grüner Veltliner. Elementar represents purity and terroir expression, an unadulterated wine with plenty of power. But Radikal is its flagship. Here, it fully reveals its own vision: clean power with an exciting edge.
In addition to Grüner Veltliner and Traminer, Zillinger also makes beautiful Sauvignon Blanc.
“… 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
