Johannes Zillinger’s Riesling from the NUMEN series is a mineral driven, complex white. Definitely not like any conventional Riesling! Stemming from selected old vines, it had spent 14 months in amphora before it was bottled unfiltered. It is elegant with a hint of smoky and stony notes plus apricot and lime aromas.
