Kristinus Siller – a Best Buy: 96 pts from Wine Enthusiast
“Watch glass after glass disappear”
“Crunchy and dynamic, this biodynamic, minimal-intervention from Hungary’s Lake Balaton region has minerally notes alongside raspberries, currants, and cranberries. It’s a light-bodied red that could easily be mistaken for a rosé, and its slightly earthy undertone keeps things not only balanced, but also endlessly interesting. Serve it with a slight chill and watch glass after glass disappear.” — Emily Saladino
This Siller is a steal
Kristinus Siller 2022 made of Zweigelt has recently received 96 points at Wine Enthusiast blind tasting. The organic, natural wine fermented spontaneously, unfined and unfiltered, contains only a tiny amount of sulphur. At 18 USD it is a steal!

Do you know what Siller is?
As Elizabeth Gabay MW describes it in one her articles: “Siller (Schiller in German) is one of the oldest styles of rosé made. Its name means ‘to shimmer’ referring to the colour being between red and pink. Few people make Siller today, with the fashion for an international pale rosé.” Nowadays Siller is a rosé with darker pink colour, made with longer maceration (24–36 hours usually). The method comes from Swabian winemakers and traditionally it was produced by picking and fermenting red and white grapes together, but today it is made from red grapes only.
