The Herbert Zillinger winery: The avant-garde of the Weinviertel
With 15800 hectares, the Weinviertel is Austria's largest wine-growing region. With his clear approach to honesty, depth, tranquillity and expressiveness, Herbert Zillinger has succeeded in attracting a great deal of attention internationally and has thus also stood out as an exceptional talent in his homeland.
His secret recipe lies above all in renouncing supposedly "modern methods of production" and making his wines with passion by means of nature-oriented craftsmanship.
No pesticides, no additives, no fining agents, but one thing above all: time - or as Herbert would say, "time of maturity". The result are purist wines with a unique character. We can hardly imagine that he would "offend" some customers with this, as he says. As balanced and easy-drinking as the wines are, there can't be many wine drinkers, neither conventional nor natural wine lovers, who can refuse this good stuff.
The wines can be described as uncompromising, heritage-conscious and modern in the sense of "back to the roots".
