  • Riesling

short time skin fermented in amphoras | slow and gentle pressing | added 10% fresh berries for end fermentation | stored and matured in 600 lt barrels of oak for 14 month on berries and lees without any intervention.

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.
