Funkstille, Zweigelt

Now more than ever we need a little ‘Funkstille’ or radio silence in our lives, so it was only natural that as interest and desire for Austrian wines grew, so would our range.  With subtle exotic fruit, ripe pear and fresh citrus flavours, this is a dry wine with complex flavours. The palate is rich with melon and grapefruit, with a refreshing, zippy finish. 

Sustainably certified by agroVet, they also produce their own fertiliser. They produce their own seeds to sow cover crops in the vineyards and use straw from the fields in the young vineyards to protect the vines from dry stress. The grapes are harvested carefully, early in the morning by hand and machine from 15 year + old trellis grown vines in Weinviertel within the Niederösterreich region which are sited on loess, clay, granite mix soils and where the climate is cool continental. Vineyards are sited at approximately 230 to 300m above sea level and are mostly orientated South, South-East and South-West, on terraces with an incline of between 10 and 40 degrees.
