Notes & Pairings
The spelling here is partly due to the local dialect, but also because this is not a typical “Gemischter Satz” in the Viennese sense. The blend of Olaszrizling, Grauburgunder, Grüner Veltliner, Chardonnay, Frühroter Veltliner (Roter Veltliner x Silvaner), and Gelber Muskateller spends 4 days on the skins in open vats. It’s not worked over too hard and punchdowns are more to keep the cap wet than going for heavy extraction. The mixed vineyard was planted in 1974 is only .2 hectares. According to Erich Andert, “If we have a big Andert family party we drink 10 Percent of it.” Super bright vintage. We are lucky to get a meaningful albeit small amount of this wine.
