Sourced from vines more than 40 years old, it offers a distinctive alternative to conventionally made Riesling, combining ripe fruit with focused freshness and mineral depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine is described as clear and expressive, with aromas of fully ripe stone fruit—especially apricot—alongside herbs and a deep, chalky, smoky spice. On the palate, it is slender yet concentrated, with firm, fine tannins, balanced acidity and a chalk-like mineral character. The finish is notably long. Its capacity to age is not specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from more than 40-year-old vines rooted in calcareous sandstone in a north-east-facing hollow. They are carefully hand-harvested intact for intracellular fermentation, which takes place inside the whole berries rather than in crushed grapes or free-run must. After gentle pressing, the wine rests on its full lees for over a year without intervention, then is bottled unfiltered and untreated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTry it with roast chicken, grilled river fish, or dishes featuring herbs and earthy vegetables; its ripe fruit and mineral edge should also suit aged hard cheese. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. A short rest in the glass can help its layered aromas open; decanting is optional.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johannes Zillinger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55262065164625,"sku":"VC-8249004","price":35.61,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/johannes-zillinger-numen-riesling-bio-2022-0.jpg?v=1791750213","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/johannes-zillinger-numen-riesling-bio-2022","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
