In a region often associated with large-scale production, they focus instead on precision and remaining authentic to their terroir. Herbie, a third-generation winegrower, took over the family estate in 1998. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince then, he has shaped its 16 hectares into a benchmark for biodynamic viticulture in Austria. The vineyards - certified organic since 2008 and Respekt-biodynamic since 2017- are farmed with a focus on biodiversity and soil health. In the cellar, the philosophy is minimal intervention: no additions or subtractions, with only a small amount of sulfur added before bottling, if needed. Carmen, who joined the winery full-time in 2016 after a career in speech and language therapy, brings a thoughtful presence to both the vineyard and the business. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTogether with their three children, the Zillingers run the estate as a cohesive and deeply rooted family operation. Their most important sites—Weintal, Hohes Eck, Steinberg, and Vogelsang—form the core of their work. Grüner Veltliner makes up around 65% of their plantings, but each parcel is cultivated and vinified with precision, allowing for clear site expression and structural depth. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey have chosen not to label their wines under the Weinviertel DAC, opting instead for greater freedom in expressing site and style. The resulting wines are precise, character-driven, and built to reflect their origins while remaining kind to the land they were grown on - offering a distinctive and confident voice within Austria’s evolving wine landscape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"zillfoxy23","title":"Zillinger, Foxy Gruner Veltliner, 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Grüner Veltliner is serious yet lively, showing a long, zesty mid-palate supported by bright citrus and herbal lift, finishing with a clean touch of white pepper.
