THE COMPANY

Born in 1980, Johannes Zillinger joined the family business in 2000, bringing a philosophy based on a biodynamic and sustainable approach: not only organic since 1984, but Demeter certified since 2013. Every element of production is geared towards circular agriculture: self-produced compost, herbs grown in the vineyards to create habitats for beneficial organisms and as a basis for natural extracts. Winemaking techniques include amphora fermentation, intercellular fermentation, sulphite-free ageing (NUMEN) and the solera method (REVOLUTION). The vineyards are a complex ecosystem, enriched by trees, shrubs and animals such as sheep and Kune Kune pigs, to encourage biodiversity. In the 350-year-old Kellerberg cellar, the wines mature in barrels and amphorae, reflecting the natural balance and uniqueness of the terroir, with wines of great elegance and longevity.
