Johannes Zillinger Velue Rot 2023

Biodynamic | Fresh | Vibrant

Johannes Zillinger Velue Rot 2023 is a dynamic and expressive red wine from Austria’s NIederosterreich region. Crafted with a blend of predominantly Zweigelt, complemented by 15% Merlot, this wine showcases the best of natural winemaking. The biodynamic approach ensures purity, allowing the grapes to fully express their terroir.

The aroma is bursting with fresh red fruits like cherry, raspberry, and black currant, layered with subtle hints of spice and earthiness. On the palate, it is juicy and light, with a lively acidity that keeps it refreshing. The tannins are fine and delicate, giving the wine a smooth, easy-drinking character. A brief skin fermentation of five days for the Zweigelt grapes enhances structure, while aging for eight months on lees in a mix of stainless steel and large old barrels adds depth and complexity.

This is a red wine that you can enjoy slightly chilled, making it a perfect companion for grilled dishes, light pasta, or casual gatherings with friends. Its vibrant fruit profile and fresh finish make it highly versatile—whether you&re pairing it with food or sipping it on its own.
