Funkstille offers a thoughtfully curated range of Austrian wines designed to bring a sense of calm and focus—‘radio silence’—to modern life. Working with a 16th-generation producer in Niederösterreich, the collection showcases Austria’s most celebrated grape varieties and archetypal styles, all presented in striking and contemporary packaging. Sustainability, character, and precision are central to their approach, ensuring each wine is expressive of its origin.

Viticulture

The vineyards are sustainably certified by agroVet, with the estate producing its own fertiliser and seeds for cover crops. Young vines are protected from dry stress using straw from surrounding fields. Grapes are harvested early in the morning, by hand and machine, from trellis-grown vines aged over 15 years, located in Weinviertel within Niederösterreich. Soils are a mix of loess, clay, and granite, while the cool continental climate ensures balanced ripening. Vineyards are positioned at approximately 230 to 300 metres above sea level, mostly south, south-east, or south-west facing, on terraces with inclines ranging from 10 to 40 degrees.

Winemaking

The energy-neutral winery produces more energy than it consumes through a biogas plant and photovoltaic system. Grapes are pressed and left in contact with the skins to extract the orange colour and additional flavour compounds. The must is then fermented in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts for 15 to 25 days, with temperatures gradually increasing towards the end of fermentation. No malolactic fermentation is carried out, but the wine benefits from eight weeks on the lees. Gentle fining and cold stabilisation complete the process.

Tasting Note

This vibrant blend reveals notes of ginger, white pepper, and flowers, complemented by subtle hints of green tea and mandarin. The palate is defined by razor-sharp acidity, a gentle tannic grip from the skins, and generous fruit intensity with every mouthful.

Food Matching

Pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, Alpine cheeses such as Comté or Gruyère, and risotto bianco.
