MAYER AM PFARRPLATZ

Vienna, Austria

The historic Mayer am Pfarrplatz winery has been a pillar of Vienna’s Heuriger (wine tavern) culture since 1683, and its famous Gemischter Satz has been an archetype of the field-blend wine for centuries.

One of its more famous fans was Ludwig van Beethoven, who lived in the romantic home on the estate in 1817. He surely enjoyed the wine while he was composing his most famous work, the Symphony No. 9.

Gemischter Satz is a Vienna specialty, made from field blends of up to twenty different varieties planted, harvested, and vinified together.

At Mayer am Pfarrplatz, the house blend is predominantly Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Rotgipfler and Zierfandler grown in the south facing Nussberg vineyards above Vienna. The precise wines benefit from a unique terroir – shell limestone from an ancient seabed contribute to varied Flysch-marl soils, while warm winds from the Pannonian plain meet the cooling influence of the Vienna Woods and Danube River.

Winemaker Gerhard J. Lobner has been at the helm of the winery for more than 15 years, and is also a member of WienWein, a collaboration of 6 winemakers and their estates to promote and elevate quality wines from Vienna.

Once dismissed as a simple wine, a strong quality focus by members of WienWein and their peers led to the creation of a Vienna Gemischter Satz DAC in 2013, further cementing its local and increasingly international reputation.
