Gemischter Satz is the wine of Vienna. Meaning mixed planting or mixed set, it can contain up to 20 grape varieties, all grown within the city limits. Wine cultivation in Vienna is as old as the city itself, with evidence of viticulture dating back to the Middle Ages. This fascinating, versatile wine naturally lends itself to a dazzling array of iterations, the perfect food accompaniment, or, as in the hands of Stefan and Alexander Fuchs, as a contemplative, aromatic tribute to its unique slice of land. Fuchs means fox. A fun label for a fun yet serious wine. A co-fermented mix red and white grapes including Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Gruner Veltliner, Gutedel and many more, grown in one of their oldest vineyards, Ried Kadolzberg on sandy loam and Flysch sandstone, with chalk-rich Dolomite limestone in the subsoil. The vineyard is located in Mauer in 23rd region of Vienna and is notable for its warm days and cool nights. Organically farmed, hand-picked grapes. The whole bunches undergo 5 days of carbonic maceration in stainless steel before being crushed by foot. The juice is aged in pressure treated tanks to preserve the trapped Co2. It is unfined and unfiltered with minimal S02 additions. Originally this Gemischter Satz (although it is not legally allowed to be called Gemischter Satz because of the inclusion of red grapes) was only able to be enjoyed at the family's Heurigen (wine tavern). It is a wonderfully refreshing and layered wine appropriate for food or to sip, lightly chilled, throughout the day.
