Funkstille — meaning ‘radio silence’ — is a carefully curated range of Austrian wines designed to bring a sense of calm and clarity to the modern wine drinker. Collaborating with a 16th-generation producer in Niederösterreich, the range highlights Austria's most celebrated grape varieties in distinctive, eye-catching packaging. This Grüner Veltliner comes from sustainably certified vineyards in Weinviertel, with subtle exotic aromas complementing ripe pear and fresh citrus notes, a dry yet rich palate of melon and grapefruit, and a crisp, zippy finish.

Why You'll Love It

This is Grüner Veltliner from Funkstille, produced in collaboration with a 16th-generation family estate in Niederösterreich whose commitment to sustainability is exceptional. The vineyards are certified by agroVet, with the estate producing its own fertiliser and seeds for cover crops, and young vines protected from dry stress with straw from surrounding fields. The winery itself is energy-neutral — generating more energy than it consumes via a biogas plant and photovoltaic system. Grapes are harvested carefully by hand and machine in the early morning from 15-year-old vines in Weinviertel, grown on a mix of loess, clay, and granite soils at 230–300 metres above sea level on south-facing terraces. No malolactic fermentation is carried out, preserving the variety's characteristic freshness and acidity, with eight weeks on the lees adding texture and complexity. This is Austrian Grüner Veltliner with sustainability, character, and genuine terroir.
