This vibrant skin contact wine blends Riesling (45%), Gruener Veltliner (35%), and other aromatic varieties from Niedersterreich, Austria. The brilliant 2021 vintage showcases sustainable production with grapes harvested early to preserve acidity and pure fruit, then carefully fermented with extended skin contact for added flavour complexity and its distinctive orange hue.

Funkstille offers a striking sensory experience with notes of ginger, white pepper, and delicate florals, underscored by green tea and mandarin. Razor-sharp acidity and gentle tannic grip create perfect balance and satisfying texture, ideal with roasted vegetables, Alpine cheeses, or risotto bianco.

If you appreciate Austrian precision and aromatic complexity, you'll love this eye-catching, sustainable wine. Once you try this unique blend, standard whites won’t seem as exciting.

Why It Stands Out

  • Seriously Sustainable: Energy-neutral winery powered by solar and biogas.
  • Perfect Balance: Crisp acidity with gentle tannic structure.
  • Flavour Explosion: Ginger, white pepper, florals and zesty citrus.
  • Thoughtful Blend: Primarily Riesling and Gruener Veltliner.
  • Your New Food Friend: From vegetable dishes to Alpine cheeses.

Tasting Notes

Expect an interplay of ginger, white pepper, and floral notes with green tea and mandarin undertones, supported by razor-sharp acidity and gentle tannic grip from extended skin contact.

About The Producer

Funkstille, meaning 'radio silence,' represents calm in a chaotic world through authentic Austrian winemaking. Working with a 16th generation producer practising sustainable viticulture, creating fertilisers from grape skins and straw, harvesting in cool morning hours, and running an energy-neutral facility, each bottle reflects true terroir and environmental responsibility.
