Grapes for the Nussberg Wiener Gemischter Satz are grown in Wieninger’s Ulm vineyard, which lies on a very steep southern slope on the eastern part of the Nussberg, directly next to the Danube river. The vineyards have been certified organic and biodynamic since 2011. Soils here consist of calcareous shell limestone with small amounts of clay underneath.
All nine grape varieties ( 30% 25% 16% 10% 7% 6% 3% 2% 1% 30% Pinot Blanc, 255 Neuburger, 16% Welschriesling, 10% Grüner Veltliner, 7% Sylvaner, 6% Zierfandler, 3% Rotgipfler, 2% Traminer, 1% Riesling) were picked by hand and vinified together following the careful elimination of any botrytis effected grapes. Gentle pressing with a pneumatic press followed a 4 hour maceration period. After maturing the wine for 10 months on the fine lees, the wine was blended and bottled in August 2022. Lemon-yellow in colour, this field blend opens with a wonderful aromatic bouquet of ripe white and yellow fruits, fine pear and wild herbs. Full-bodied on the palate, with concentrated and perfectly balanced fruit, and lingering salinity.
