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 Gruner Veltliner Goldberg 2023
2023 Grüner Veltliner “Ried Goldberg”. The word “Ried” refers to a natural area, usually created in the former floodplain of a river that, in this case it, denotes a single vineyard sourcing. The Goldberg vineyard is located in the south-eastern most wine growing region of Vienna. It is cultivated organically with adherence to biodynamic principles. Expect a wine with light green reflections in the glass showing aromas of white flowers, melon, green apples and white pepper. On the palate, the wine is crisp with juicy pineapple and citrus notes and a very lively, fresh acidity. A great spring and summer white.
