Product notes
Gemischter Satz itself has a long tradition and not only in Vienna. In the past, winemakers frequently cultivated a small, single vineyard and depended on its fruits for their livelihood. With its multiple varietals, “gemischt” or field blend style planting provided stability in terms of yield and quality while making the vineyards less vulnerable to bad weather, diseases and pests. Although the practical aspects of vineyard biodiversity still benefit us today, we have come to value the uniquely harmonious wines that result from a blend of grapes that co-exist from vine to bottle. Our winemaking process aims to preserve the natural balance of aromas, ripeness and acidity that results from this method of winegrowing.

Gemischter Satz is a very special field blend, containing at least three grape varietals. These varietals are not only grown together in the same vineyard but harvested and fermented together. Using this method, we’re able to take advantage of the special characteristics of each grape and unify them in one bottle.
