Tasting Notes: The nose is aromatic with slightly smoky nuances, some grapefruit, ripe stone fruit, and slightly yeasty notes. The palate reveals a full-bodied yet elegant wine with a fine acid structure. Harmonious, balanced, and already very approachable.

Winemaking: With 40 years of vine age, the vineyard is already well-established. Furthermore, it is the Burgundy varieties (Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay) that particularly complement the Bisamberg and produce the best qualities. The grapes were harvested together by hand and gently pressed, then spontaneously fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After medium aging, the finished wine was bottled.

Gemischter Satz means 'mixed set' as this wine is a field blend from a single vineyard, 'Bisamberg'. Considered among the finest of vineyards in the region, the 35-hectare site is planted with Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc), Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) and Chardonnay. Certified organic and biodynamically-grown since 2012, the vines have an average age of 40 years old. The vineyard soils are composed of sandy loess covering limestone, which makes for fresh wines with a vibrant acidity.
