*Pick up orders are available next day for pick up"Velue is the ancient name for the Zillinger's home village of Velm and means 'Trees along the river' referring to the willow trees growing along the Sulzbach crossing the village.
The Velue wines are beautifully balanced and well made natural wines fermented spontaneously in stainless
steel on the lees. Beside the vines in these old vineyards grow several types of thyme planted to make teas and medicinal extracts. Johannes's careful farming and long hang times combined with the herbaceous quality his wines pick up from their proximity to these herbs make for wildly unique natural wines that never go sideways on us. Find here all the classical indicators of Grüner Veltliner — yellow fruit, white pepper, savoury salinity — buttressed by a firm herbaceous quality, a hint of skin contact, and a wonderful concentration that never feels overwrought." - Vino al Vino
