Johannes Zillinger - Numen, Muskateller 2020
Aromatic nose packed with generous stone fruit, mango and litchi with a hint of yellow flower notes and honeysuckle. Refreshing minerality breaks through the multilayered luscious viscosity on the pallet. Fascinating dreamy depth and elegance like a Tchaikovsky ballet.

Vinification
Numen refers to a metaphysical action that man can not influence. Accordingly, this wine is made completely without intervention. The idea was to let a wine "emerge" give it the necessary time and use the full potential of the old vines. The wine was fermented in amphora with whole bunches for a few days, then gently pressed by hand and aged for 16 months on the lees. Bottled without sulphites, fining or filtration.
