Toast Hawaii Weiss, Zillinger

Robert Parkers Wine Advocate: Zillinger's Toast Hawaii Weiss blends Sauvignon Blanc and Traminer from the best Ollersdorf vineyards (limestone), with both varieties lightly fermented on the mash and then vinified in concrete egg for one year on the lees.
Bottled unfiltered, this straw-yellow colored white opens with an intense, dense, aromatic, spicy, yeasty and even chalky bouquet. Lush, round and elegant on the palate, it has enormously lush fruit and a serious and persistent mineral grip. This is a beautiful, medium-weight dry blend with a fine phenolic/tannin grip and structure on the good finish.

“… Zillinger is one of the very best wine producers 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 under-celebrated… The real discovery as far as I am concerned is Herbert Zillinger, whose whites are exceptionally good .”  - Jancis Robinson MW
