Grüner Veltliner »Radikal« 2021
Description
Jancis Robinson ist begeistert von Herbert Zillingers Radikal und beschreibt den Wein ausgesprochen Enthusiastisch:
From their oldest vineyards, picked late. Described by them as a 'top selection from the old Kalkvogel vines (pure sandstone and limestone) and completely sulfur-free in 2021'. Unfiltered and certified biodynamic.
Slightly cloudy, deep copper colour. Slightly funky and lots of fun! I can see why the Zillingers may not want to submit it to a conservative tasting panel but it is chock-full of flavour and character without being extreme, except for extremely delicious. It has a bit of that 'burnished metal' character I find on some Campanian whites. Really serious wine that almost deserves being served without the distraction of food. Very complex and long.

Note: Natural wines are produced differently and filled without clearing, filtering or adding sulfites. Wine lees and deposits from the yeast are common, smell and taste can differ significantly from conventionally produced wines.
