Weingut Norbert Bauer ‘Cellar 99’ Gemischter Satz 2022, Vienna

Description

He comes from an 11th-generation family winery in a historic pocket of European viticulture. Yet Willy Bauer has his focus set firmly on the future. He’s sustainably minded, working organically and in an energy-neutral winery. Willy’s given a touch of cool to traditional wines like this Gemischter Satz, so it’s little wonder he was named Young Wine Talent of the Year 2022 by Falstaff Magazine. Produced from vineyards in and around Vienna, Gemischter Satz is a ‘field blend’ of six different white grape varieties – including Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Riesling – that have all been harvested and fermented together. In the hands of this star producer, the result is a distinct and fruity white wine with just a touch of spritz.
