Gemischter Satz with Attention – 2020

Gemischter Satz mit Achtung, an Orange Wine from six grape varieties

The 2020 Gemischter Satz mit Achtung by Fred Loimer is an Orange Wine from the Kamptal, a white cuvée made from six grape varieties planted together. Fermented on the skins, juicy, spicy, and perfectly balanced.

Gemischter Satz mit Achtung 2020 is the skin-fermented Orange Wine from the Fred Loimer winery, sourced from the Zöbing Eichelberg vineyard. Six old varieties – Grüner and Roter Veltliner, White and Red Riesling, Welschriesling, and Traminer – grow together in the same vineyard and are brought to the cellar collectively. A living Austrian tradition.

Yellow fruit, white pepper, Traminer note

On the nose, the cuvée is fragrant with ripe yellow fruits, accompanied by a vegetal spice, white pepper, and the unmistakable Traminer note – complex yet harmonious.

On the palate, it is juicy, spicy, and refreshing, with well-integrated tannins and perfect balance. A fine natural wine with a textured structure. Well-rounded with 4.4 g/l of acidity and pleasantly restrained at 13% vol.

For us, a wine for braised meat

Its tannins and spice make this Gemischter Satz a companion for bold, hearty dishes.

We particularly enjoy it with braised meat or Asian dishes – wherever tannins and spice are required, this Orange Wine feels right at home. Serve at 12 to 14 degrees, decanted, in a large glass. You can find more unique wines in our dry white wines.

Six varieties from a vineyard opposite the Heiligenstein

The grapes come from the Zöbing Eichelberg site, the extension of the Waldviertel plateau opposite the top Heiligenstein vineyard. Hot days and cool night winds shape the microclimate, and the vines, up to 55 years old, are rooted in weathered gneiss with mica schist.

In a Gemischter Satz, all varieties grow together – with this "jumble," Fred Loimer preserves a piece of old tradition. The grapes are harvested by hand from mid-September to early October. For four weeks, the berries—partly destemmed, partly whole—ferment on the skins in large wooden barrels at a maximum temperature of 25 degrees.

The wine matures on the lees for twelve months, and another six months on the fine lees, before it is bottled in April 2023. "Mit Achtung" (with respect) stands for reverence for the oldest form of winemaking, which originates from Georgia. You can find more from the producer under other wines from the Fred Loimer winery, such as the Grüner Veltliner mit Achtung.

For those who appreciate stories in a glass

Give this Orange Wine some air; a carafe will do it good – it unfolds over time in the glass. Serve at 12 to 14 degrees, warmer than a classic white wine. At 13% vol, it has enough substance to pair with hearty food. A wine for everyone who appreciates stories in a glass.
