100% Zweigelt from Niederosterreich, Austria.

This is a delicious, deep, and brambly example of the variety that features fresh cherries and forest berries on the nose with a refreshing and juicy palate. Johannes calls this his “all-day red wine” and “cherries in a bottle.”

Johannes Zillinger learned early on from his father about the craft of organic winemaking, about viewing the vineyard as a habitat and protecting the environment instead of poisoning it. His father Hans turned to organic viticulture in 1983 and was one of its pioneers in Austria. When Johannes took over the winery and made it his own in 2013, he took it ever further, transitioning to biodynamics and starting a new chapter for the 350 year old winery. His wines are certified Demeter biodynamic, and Johannes believes wholeheartedly in the philosophy of biodynamic farming. He grows his own herbs for tea tinctures to use as treatments in his vineyards. The wines are all spontaneously fermented, lightly filtered, and minimally sulfured only at bottling. These are impeccably made wines with precision, structure, and balance no matter the vintage or cuvee. They are also absolutely delicious.

Biodynamic & naturally fermented using indigenous yeasts.
