THE COMPANY

Born in 1980, Johannes Zillinger joined the family business in 2000, bringing with him a philosophy based on a biodynamic and sustainable approach: not only organic since 1984, but Demeter certified since 2013. The estate, located in Velm-Götzendorf in the Weinviertel region, cultivates 20 hectares and produces around 90,000 bottles per year. Every element of production is geared towards circular agriculture: self-produced compost, medicinal herbs grown in the vineyards to create habitats for beneficial organisms and as a basis for natural extracts, trees and hedges to regulate the microclimate. The vineyards are a complex ecosystem, enriched by sheep, chickens and Kune Kune pigs, which contribute to soil fertility and biodiversity. Winemaking techniques include spontaneous fermentation in amphorae, intercellular fermentation, sulphite-free ageing (NUMEN) and the solera method (REVOLUTION), for pure, expressive and long-lived wines. In the 350-year-old Kellerberg cellar, the wines mature in oak barrels, Georgian amphorae and steel, reflecting the natural balance and uniqueness of the terroir, with a stylistic signature that is increasingly recognisable internationally.

Weinviertel

The Weinviertel is the largest wine-growing region in the country and is characterized by rolling, wooded countryside. We are located north of Vienna and in an area that is quintessentially Central European. The hills of Slovakia form a barrier between the Weinviertel and the warming effect of the Pannonian plain to the southeast, so the wines produced here are among the coolest and lightest in Austria.
