RADIKAL 2023 is one of the most characterful expressions of Grüner Veltliner from the Zillinger winery. Grapes from old vines on limestone soil undergo extended skin contact, while spontaneous fermentation and aging in used wooden barrels give the wine depth, texture, and complexity. The result is a powerful, mineral, and long-lived wine with a distinct character.
