Johannes Zillinger organic wine estate

The organic wine estate Zillinger lies in the southern Weinviertel in Lower Austria and has a long history. Founded by David Zillinger back in 1673, the estate remains in the Zillinger family's ownership to this day. Johannes's grandparents took over in 1951, followed in 1982 by his parents, Johann and Christine Zillinger, when the estate had 5 ha under cultivation. Just three years later, the entire business converted to organic production, and the area under cultivation was steadily expanded.

The estate has now grown to 20 ha of vineyards and is among Austria's organic viticulture pioneers. White grape varieties account for 60% of the vineyard area and red varieties for 40%. Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Zweigelt and Sankt Laurent are particularly typical of the Weinviertel, including at the Zillingers' estate. Varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon also thrive. Many years of experience, environmentally considerate work in the vineyard and cellar, and the use of the latest winemaking methods produce wines of the highest calibre.

The secret of organic wine: 'Letting nature work with gentle guidance and carefully transferring it into the wine in the cellar' is the organic winegrower's art. This is what distinguishes organic wines.
