Gemischter Satz, most often described as a field blend of different varieties cultivated and vinified together, has been a traditional wine of Viennese buschenschank and heurigen, following Joseph II’s decree releasing wine sales from the State to the producer. In fact, the buschenschank and heurigen culture originated from the sale of Gemischter Satz, as winemakers sought a way to bring forth their seasonal bounty in an approachable, easy way; it was the original farm to table concept.
