Could 2025 be the summer of Gemischter Satz? I hope so because there’s lots to love about Vienna’s traditional white field blend, a mixture of different varieties, cultivated on the slopes that surround the city and harvested together. Gemischter Satz can sometimes be a little boozy for summer sipping but this new-wave wine, majority Grüner Veltliner, dials in at a picnic-friendly 11.5%. Pithy and fresh, there’s juicy grapefruit, white pepper with a delicate textural charm.
