'Gemischter Satz' is a traditional Viennese white blend made from up to 20 varieties of grapes planted in the same vineyard. Once available almost exclusively in the Austrian domestic market (usually at local pubs), this crowd-pleasing, affordable, and food-friendly category has been experiencing a renaissance as of late, and is popping up more and more in international markets. Lucky us!

Gruner Veltliner
MEDIUM-BODIED, CITRUS, CREAMY, BRIGHT, WHITE PEPPER, NO OAK
Enticing aromas of citrus and white pepper, followed by just a touch of fresh green herbs. Pleasantly tart yet particularly creamy due to extended less contact. Definitely the next step up in Austrian gruner veltliners.
