Hi, responsible drinkers of our project,
This is to remind you to Vienna and our meeting in the unfriendly cold January this year. Maybe you remember our visit of the traditional Heuriger ‘Mayer am Pfarrplatz’ in the evening of the first day. There you tasted our typical Viennese wine called ‘mixed set’ or in our language ‘Gemischter Satz’.

In August this wine obtained the DAC status, comparable with the Italian DOC title. Attached you will find the official information about this event.
In our region the first wine tastings have been started and we will visit our vineyards to taste the new grapes which we expect to be very delicious caused by very hot summer months.
We encourage you to do the same with kind regards, Petra & Achim

Wiener Gemischter Satz Becomes DAC

August 19, 2013 - The Wiener Gemischte Satz is one of Austria's most traditional wines. And over the last ten years, this special field blend has undergone a long-deserved renaissance, thanks to the strict quality policy and new cultivation regulations mainly pushed by the group of Viennese winemakers known as WienWein. The significance of Wiener Gemischter Satz as the showpiece of Vienna's wine sector combined with the strong desire for a protected designation of origin convinced the Regional Wine Committee of Vienna to apply for DAC (Districtus Austriae Controllatus) status for the wine. Once accepted and confirmed by the National Wine Committee, the official ordinance was signed by Federal Minister Nikolaus Berlakovich. With this, Wiener Gemischter Satz became Austria's ninth DAC designation of origin. The first Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC wines to be released are from the 2013 vintage. As a result of this new development, the number of Austrian DACs now surpasses that of the non-DAC regions – seven – whose wine origin profiles are still being worked on.

The RESDRI - Booklet

 

The education to a responsible and moderate consumption, that starts from the knowledge of the product and territory generating it, is for sure one of the ways to disseminate the culture of the “good wine” contemporarily developing the awareness of the territory from which it comes from.
