The grapes come from the Lower Austria wine region, where loess and clay predominate. Loess is a fine, calcareous sediment that retains water well and contributes to ripe, round aromas, while clay provides additional structure. The cool climate with abundant sunshine during the day and cool nights keeps the acidity lively and gives the wine its bright, juicy style.
The style is deliberately pure and fruit-driven. Cool fermentation preserves the floral and citrus aromas, after which the wine remains tight and precise, allowing the fresh character to take center stage. Why is this called "Gemischter Satz"? In Austria, the different varieties are planted together in a single vineyard and often harvested simultaneously. This shared origin and harvest result in a natural balance of aroma, flavor, and structure.
Grüner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Roter Veltliner. Grüner Veltliner imparts that recognizable Veltliner spice and juicy pear notes, Sauvignon Blanc provides citrus and freshness, Riesling adds precision and tension, and Roter Veltliner rounds off with ripe white fruit and a pleasant texture.
