GROISS Gemischter Satz 2018
Gemischter Satz
AUSTRIA
Old school but totally different - Gemischter Satz is the traditional field blend of Austria. It’s a wine made from different grape varieties that are grown together in a single vineyard. The grapes are hand-harvested and processed together. Groiss is a small family vineyard in the Weinviertel region and the lovely Ingrid Groiss is now the winemaker after taking over from her Dad in 2010 (this was decided by a head to head blind taste off – Ingrid was victorious and handed the winemaker’s reins!)
Just a few varieties in the Groiss Gemischter Satz – I’m sure you’re familiar with at least a couple of them! Chardonnay, Müller Thurgau, Welschriesling, Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Grauburgunder, Pinot Blanc, Frühroter Veltliner, Neuburger, Zierfandler, Rotgipfler, Sämling, Roter Veltliner, Grauer Vöslauer, Hietl Rote, Weiße Vöslauer and Silberweiße.
Beautifully perfumed and full of flavour. Honeydew melon, lemongrass, white flowers, hay and fresh herbs. The rich and layered palate of white peach, melon, lemongrass and crunchy pear is beautifully balanced with a crisp citrus acidity and lingering minerality. Zingy, fresh and utterly moreish!
