Johannes Zillinger - Parcellaire Blanc #1

Parcellaire Blanc #1 is a unique and extremely beautifully farmed wine, featuring site-specific grapes planted in the coolest climate, north-facing, and latest ripening plots. Welschriesling is fermented with skin contact in clay vessels from Georgia, called Qvevri. Chardonnay is pressed as a whole cluster and fermented, aged in Acacia barrels for eight months under naturally occurring flor. This blend gives amazing aromas of peach, yellow apple, baked quince, pie shell, savory herbs, and a distinctive salinity. With well-balanced acidity and a lingering finish, the wine is a masterful blend of traditional winemaking and terroir.
