THE WINE
This is a natural blend from biodynamic vineyards around Velm‑Götzendorf, named for the village’s historic name, “Velue.” Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted: the Riesling spends one day on skins for texture and phenolic grip, Grüner Veltliner is direct-pressed to preserve clarity and freshness, and Muskateller rests briefly on skins and stems for five hours, enhancing aromatics without dominating the blend.
Fermentation is fully spontaneous in stainless steel at 21–24 °C, preserving purity and a strong sense of place. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally, softening acidity and adding roundness, while a full year on lees with occasional bâtonnage builds texture, depth, and subtle complexity. Unfiltered and unadulterated, the wine is crafted with care, delivering a clean, vibrant, and expressive profile.
THE PEOPLE
For over 30 years, the Zillinger family’s biodynamic vineyard in Velm-Götzendorf has exemplified what it truly means to farm naturally. First established by Hans Zillinger and now led by his son Johannes, the estate is deeply rooted in biodynamic principles, from crafting homemade compost to cultivating their own herbs. Every decision is guided by a commitment of acting in harmony with nature.
Johannes embraces minimal intervention in both the vineyard and cellar, believing that healthy soil nurtures healthy vines, which in turn produce exceptional wines. As he puts it, "If you let the good things simply take their course in the cellar, the results are far more exciting." Zillinger’s wines are a testament to this philosophy, capturing the pure essence of nature in every bottle.
THE PLACE
The Weinviertel in northeastern Austria is renowned for its Grüner Veltliner, particularly the Weinviertel DAC, Austria’s first DAC wine, known for its signature peppery spice, bright acidity, and fresh citrus and orchard fruit flavors. Grüner Veltliner dominates the region, though growers also produce richer Weinviertel DAC Reserve wines, along with smaller amounts of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and light, fruit-forward reds like Zweigelt. The area’s loess and clay soils, combined with a continental climate, create clean, expressive wines that offer great value and pair effortlessly with both Austrian classics and spicier international dishes.
