Terroir
Natural factors
- Transitional climate: Wien sits between oceanic influence from the west and continental influence from the east, with mild winters.
- Northern sites: lime-rich soils interspersed with bands of clay and Löss.
- Southern sites: Rendzinas, brown earths, and chernozems, with inclusions of Kalk and gravel.
- The markedly varied soils within a small area result in differing grape ripeness levels and flavor profiles.
- Lower rainfall and extended dry periods characterize the viticultural climate of Wien.
Human factors
- Gemischter Satz: multiple varieties cultivated together in the vineyard and harvested simultaneously, in order to achieve a consistent flavor profile.
Product characteristics
- A multitude of aromas arises from the simultaneous harvest of grapes of varying ripeness from different varieties.
- The mixed harvest of different varieties yields a unified flavor profile in the wine.
Terroir / wine link
- Markedly varied soils within a small area produce differing grape ripeness levels — Gemischter Satz as the response to achieving a consistent flavor profile.
