Alexander Zahel Description
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 forst to ever bottel Gemischter Sats, capturing the spirit of Vienna’s local wine taverns (Heurigers) which began when Emperor Joseph II’s ordinance of 1784 allowed Asutrians to sell home-made food, wine, and the convivial spirit of the Viennese Gemütlichkeit (warmth, friendliness, and good cheer).
The famous field blend is grown within the city limits of Vienna. The six grapes of this Gemischter Satz (Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Gewüztraminer and Chardonnay) are grown on limestone and sandstone terraces at 330 meters overlooking downtown Vienna. Grown together and then picked on the same day, this electric white is then co-fermented dry using only native, wild yeasts.
This Wiener Gemischter Satz is the strongest expression of Vienna’s unique terroir, produced with grapes coming from three of the area’s best wine growing regions - Nussberg, Oberlaa and Mauer. The combination of the six grape varieties makes for a crisp, perfectly balanced and incredibly food-friendly wine.
