Experience a truly unique wine with Alexander Zahel Gemischter Satz, a celebrated field blend that captures the vibrant spirit of Vienna, Austria. This special wine is made from six grape varieties: Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Traminer, and Chardonnay. These grapes are grown together on limestone and sandstone terraces overlooking the city, at about 1,000 feet above sea level.
What makes this wine exceptional is its traditional production method. The grapes are all harvested on the same day and then fermented together using only the natural, wild yeasts present in the vineyard. This co-fermentation brings out a complex and harmonious character in the wine. The Zahel family has a long history with Gemischter Satz, being the first to ever bottle this Viennese specialty. Their work honors the tradition of Vienna’s wine taverns, where locals have enjoyed this style of wine for centuries.
Alexander Zahel is committed to biodynamic farming practices, certified by Demeter, ensuring a sustainable and high-quality wine. This Gemischter Satz is a strong expression of Vienna's unique terroir, coming from some of the region's best vineyards. The blend of the six grapes results in a crisp, balanced white wine that is incredibly versatile with food. It’s no wonder this wine has been recognized by Slow Food with its "Ark of Taste" award, highlighting its cultural and historical significance. Discover the warmth and friendliness of Vienna in every sip of this remarkable wine.
