Description
This is a unique red wine that balances elegance and minerality with a brambly dark fruits and a hint of herbs. A blend of 62% Cabernet Franc and 38% Syrah, this wine is produced from only the coolest parcels of the Zillinger vineyards, those close to forests, facing north and northeast on windy hilltops — a perfect recipe for terroir-driven wines with exceptional freshness and structure. This is an outstanding partner for roasts, steaks, and mushroom duxelles. Don’t miss it.

Johannes Zillinger

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, two years before the Anti-freeze Scandal, and was one of its pioneers in Austria. When Johannes took over the winery and made it his own in 2013, he took it even further and became biodynamic, starting a new chapter for the 350-year-old winery. He even grows his own herbs for tea tinctures to use as treatments in his vineyards!
