Bottle of Ambrositsch, Gemischter Satz "Kosmopolit", 2024 - White Wine - Flatiron Wines & Spirits - New York

Jutta Ambrositsch

(4 products)

Vienna and its residents have a long and intertwined history with its wine. It has the largest number of vineyards within its city limits of anywhere on earth, mostly to sate the thirsty Viennese. Winemakers here are known for their traditional, thirst-quenching, white field blends of Gemischter Satz, a perfect pairing for Schnitzel and Käsekrainer sausages. It's a style of wine often relegated to grocery store shelves, or sold out of a tap at any of the many Buschenschank (wine taverns) found around the city.

Jutta isn't from Vienna or a winemaking family, but found herself enamored with the juxtaposition of being a farmer in the big city. Her wines are a far cry from the gluggable styles produced by many of her neighbors. They are masterpieces of craft, allowing terroir to transcend grape variety to produce classic, often age-worthy bottles of serious juice.

She farms her four parcels organically and her winemaking would be considered "natural", but her clean, linear, complex results are a far cry from some of those who also don that moniker. These are wines unfamiliar to most and really worth exploring.
