Revolution Pink Solera

Johannes Zillinger

This year's bottling sees about 50% Rösler from 2019, 40% Syrah from 2018 & 19, and 10% St. Laurent from 2016-18. The Rösler is whole-cluster pressed, fermented into stainless steel for fermentation, then matured in old 500L oak barrels. Syrah is whole-berry fermented and matured in 500L oak. A portion of the St. Laurent solera is blended in for nuanced character. The blend's then aged on lees, full MLF, bottled hazy as, no sulfur added. Just throw out the cork. Johannes says the "combination of soleras shows my favourite wine style; a combination of fruit and freshness paired with structure, ripeness, and a lot of glou-glou."
