Gemischter Satz is Vienna’s historic field blend, a style where multiple grape varieties—often including Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Weissburgunder, and Traminer—are planted, harvested, and fermented together. Once a practical approach to ensuring consistent yields, it has become a hallmark of Viennese viticulture, particularly in the city's terraced vineyards. The result is a vibrant, aromatic wine with layered complexity, balancing freshness, spice, and texture. Though traditionally associated with heuriger taverns, modern winemakers have refined Gemischter Satz into a serious, terroir-driven expression, now protected under the Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC. It remains a living testament to Vienna’s unique wine heritage.
