About the wine
This crisp and zesty Austrian Veltliner is utterly gripping
- Herbert's an international Grüner Veltliner specialist, and has been making some of the biggest names in the business peer over their spectacles. So when we say he's made you some of the finest examples of Austrian Grüner Veltliner going, we're not pulling your leg.
- Grüner Veltliner is Austria's most popular grape and a bit like Herbert, is gaining some serious momentum in exclusive wine circles, both for its quality and its fine, distinctive flavours. Herbert lets the grapes do all the talking, working closely with the soil and the vines during the growing process, before taking a step back once the wine hits the cellar.
- The aim of the game is to keep the process as natural and sustainable as possible, a technique that results in this effortlessly complex wine. Full of character and citrusy crisp flavours of lemon, lime and vibrant nectarine - it's an utterly gripping sunshine sipper.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Herbert Zillinger
- Herbert has been at the reigns of his family estate in the Weinviertel (Austria's most sought after winemaking region) since he was just twenty. Another twenty years on and he's one of the most sought after Veltliner producers in the world, grabbing the interest of big shot wine critics like Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson.
- Dedicated to the sustainability of his wines, Herbert uses biodynamic farming to make sure he's feeding back into the land rather than purely taking from it. It's all about keeping it natural and ignoring passing fads. You won't catch Herbert compromising his style for anyone.
- He lets the land set the trends for him, creating sophisticated natural wines that speak to the robust structure and bright zippy flavours that make Weinviertel wines so vibrant and distinctive.

A drinkable wine but not the best Gruner V I've had. I found it a little dry and sharp (very citrusy) for me. Other Gruners I've had have been a little sweeter. Drinkable but don't think I'd buy a full bottle again.

Pleasant with a Thai meal, but a little bland.
Not a bad wine, but in my opinion, overpriced
I love Gruner Veltliner, but this is a very special one! Brilliant wine! Please let me know when it is next in stock?
Really not to our taste, or the bottle was off.
Time to cheer up after a sad week so off to Austria (sort of 😉) with thisZillinger Neuland Gruner Veltliner 2020. Happy Friday night everyone and enjoy whatever you are drinking. 😘
Very acidic, but thought that was a good thing.
This is a nice easy-drinking wine that went well with a light veggie curry.
