Vienna
Vienna is the only capital city in the world that boasts its own wine appellation. About 700 hectares of Vienna’s surface is covered by vineyards, about 80 percent white and 20 percent red. There are some 400 individual vineyards in the city.
For many years, the region produced simple white wines for consumption in heurigen (local wine bars that serve meats, sausage and cheese). Today, Vienna is a quality wine producing region perhaps best known for its Gemischter Satz. This is a white wine made from a field blend of up to 20 different varieties, including Gruner Veltliner and Riesling.

Zahel Orangetraube Orange T 2023
Zahel’s Orange “T” is composed of Orangetraube, a rare, aromatic varietal historically found in field blends. Translating to “Orange Grape,” for its orange tinge at peak ripeness, Karl Georg Zahel selected the varietal out of their Gemischter Satz in 1966 and isolated it on its own — two generations later, Zahel is the only Austrian producer of single-varietal Orangetraube.

Zahel St Laurent Mauerberg 2022
St. Laurent is one of Austria’s classic varietals and a staple of Zahel’s red wine production. This wine is produced from grapes grown in the Maurerberg region, located in the southwestern corner of Vienna. Influenced by both the cool Viennese forest to the west and the warmer Thermenregion to the south, the area’s unique microclimate provides a foundation for elegant red wines. This wine is cultivated biodynamically and harvested 100% by hand before being fermented for 2 weeks in 500 liter oak barrels.
