Funkstille's Riesling 2022 is a brilliant example of the innovative, sustainable winemaking that has made this producer a rising star in Austrian wine. Sourced from the sun-kissed vineyards of Niederösterreich, the Riesling grapes benefit from careful canopy management and early morning harvesting to capture their vibrant acidity. Funkstille's energy-neutral winery is a testament to their eco-conscious approach, using sustainable farming practices, natural fertilisers, and cover crops to nourish the vines.
The wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape’s pure fruit expression, resulting in a wine that bursts with flavours of white peach, apricot compôte, and white florals. The beautifully balanced acidity gives this Riesling a refreshing, zippy finish, making it perfect for pairing with light, aromatic dishes or for enjoying on its own.
Funkstille’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond the vineyard, as they strive to create wines with minimal environmental impact while capturing Austria's most iconic grape varieties. Their Riesling is no exception, offering a clean, precise expression of the terroir, with just a touch of their signature innovation.
