Description

Product description for Johannes Zillinger JZ. Revolution white solera N.V. NV (bio)

Information about the wine

The idea of an everyday wine far removed from the mainstream. Chardonnay, Riesling, and Scheurebe from the Hohes Eck and Lissen vineyards. After hand-picking, the Chardonnay was subjected to a mash fermentation in 1000-liter amphorae for around ten days. The wine was then pressed and stored in the amphorae again. The Scheurebe grapes were harvested between 2017 and 2022. Fermentation began on the skins. After fermentation, the wine was stored in 600-liter acacia and oak barrels. The Riesling came from a solera from 2013 to 2022 in 600-liter barrels and stainless steel. Bottling took place in March 2023 with 30 mg total sulfur, 3.25 pH, and 1 gram of residual sugar.

Colour

Medium, slightly cloudy straw yellow

Nose

This white cuvée with components from the solera is a creamy and sensual wine with an opening of lilac and nutmeg, yellow apples, and peaches. Fruit and floral notes are accompanied by slightly nutty hints, some blond tobacco, and herbal spice.

Palate

On the palate, the white solera is spicy and slightly phenolic, distinctly salty and full-bodied, with further tobacco and herbal hints. The acidity is fine and sensual, the wine juicy and, thanks to the Scheurebe, also distinctly fruity. Towards the finish, the wine becomes increasingly smooth with a light yeasty veil, while at the same time becoming increasingly salty, with vibrant mineral notes, and also somewhat smoky.
