Zillinger Kalkvogel Organic 2020

This is like Veltliner on steroids - everything you get from a more typical veltliner but with a heightened flavour and long finish which I, for one, really like. Do give it the little shake and definitely pair with some food. Fabulous.

This bottle goes on the treat list for the price. Loved the slight fizz and the colour. Drank without food firstly then we finished the bottle paired with fish. Could taste the fruitness on both ocassions and did not find it too dry.

Very tasty but on the expensive side.

This is a wine that needs some love to enjoy. It's certainly a marmite wine, but I do like it. As mentioned by others, do decant and give a shake before trying. There is some fizz when pouring, so shaking helps release the fizz.

The wine itself is interesting. It has a cloudy, deeper yellow colour. Medium(-) body. The intensity on the nose is bordering medium. Notes of starfruit, mango, yellow apple, pear, lime, and peach. Medium acidity and long finish.

We're having Cod tonight and I have three options, two being M&S (spending my Xmas voucher) Gavi or a Georgian Mtsvane Kakhuri or Zillinger Kalkvogel Organic 2020

We shall see 😀

There was no mention of dizziness on the bottle or the need to shake it. We did decant it and noticed the cloudiness, the taste was unpleasant.

We certainly noticed the fizz and the slight cloudiness. However we did not enjoy the taste at all.

A very special white wine. We bought this as a treat, looking forward to trying a new wine and we were not disappointed. Loved the slight fizz, and the beautiful colour.
The fruity taste was still lovely and dry and I can’t wait to try this another time with food - loving the idea to match with spicy food.

Let's try this again for the millionth time. Hyperlink issues that are making me less hyper 🤣

White heavy order as I have a fair few reds at home still. Fingers crossed this goes well.
