Vinification

All of the grapes - grown in biodynamic-certified vineyards – are comprised of different varieties (Pinot blanc, Grüner Veltliner, Neuburger, Riesling and Welschriesling) that have been harvested together. After meticulous grape selection via hand- picking (we had 40% more harvest workers for a 30% lower yield!), the individual batches of grapes for the Nussberg Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC were macerated for three to four hours before being carefully pressed. The pre-clarified must underwent cool fermentation with its indiginous yeast and maturation in steel tanks in order to accentuate the racy, fruity character as much as possible. Following a moderate amount of time on the fine lees, the individual batches were blended together and bottled. Since 2013, the Wiener Gemischter Satz in general has been ennobled with “DAC”, the strictly controlled designation of origin for Viennese wine. This wine is vegan.

Vineyard
