Description: In the idyllic eastern Austrian countryside, Johannes Zillinger, and his father before him, have made wine with minimal intervention in harmony with the habitat where they live & work. Bio-dynamics is a way of life - interspersed with the rows of grapevines, herbs are planted both as natural pesticides and to make tinctures. These wines appeal both to the minimal intervention/all-natural wine crowd as well as the mainstream wine-drinking public. This Riesling comes from the Steinthal vineyard, 10 to 40 year old vines grow on loess and lime-sandstone soils. This site is found on a hilltop with eastern slope and southern slope exposures — A delicious and savory Riesling featuring yellow stone fruit, herbs, and a salty mineral note. The is super refreshing and complex, perfectly balancing ripeness with mouthwatering acidity.
