'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!
