Vienna’s Gemischter Satz is one of only 300 products worldwide that SlowFood awarded its Ark of Taste award, created to protect high-quality and traditionally produced foods for future generations in the face of industrialized agriculture and big business.The Zahel family was the first to ever bottle Gemischter Satz, capturing the spirit of Vienna’s local wine taverns (Heurigers) which began when Emperor Joseph II's ordinance of 1784 allowed Austrians to sell home-made food, wine, and the convivial spirit of Viennese Gemütlichkeit (warmth, friendliness, and good cheer).
750 mlThe "Gemischter Satz" itself has a long tradition - not only in Vienna. In the past, winegrowers often only had a single vineyard at their disposal. Planting different grape varieties had many advantages, then as now. The different characteristics of the grape varieties ensure a stable yield and make the vineyard less susceptible to bad weather or wine diseases and pests. As a result, more grape varieties flow into the wine and thus multiply its complexity. This composition gives the wine more acidity and therefore freshness.
