Wieninger Gemischter Satz Rosengartl-Nussberg

So What?

"The grapes for the Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC Rosengartel come from the vineyard with the same name – a slice of a south-facing slope in the middle of the Nussberg. The soil consists of calcareous shell-limestone over limestone, and with a moderate clay content. The Rosengartel is historically the most precious in the Vienna region. The wines were amongst the most sought-after in the days of the Habsburg empire; also today, they are in high demand because of their complex characteristics and distinctive expression of Terroir.

This vineyard has been cultivated according to biodynamic guidelines since 2008 and was officially certified for the first time with the 2011 vintage. The Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC consists of 5 grape varieties: Grüner Veltliner (nearly 50 %), Weissburgunder, Neuburger, Traminer and Riesling, all of which had been picked by hand and, following a meticulous selection that removed any botrytis grapes, were processed together. The 4-hour maceration was followed by a gentle pressing with a pneumatic wine press. Fermentation took place in cool steel tanks. After a few months of maturing on the fine lees, it was bottles and aged until summer of 2019." - Winery notes
