Mixing kit

Until the 17th century, a widespread and common form of vineyard design in Europe, in which different grape varieties were planted together in the vineyard "in a motley mix" for reasons of risk minimisation, in order to ensure as consistent a quality as possible. These are harvested and processed together. The grape varieties used vary from country to country and wine-growing region to region; in Styria(Austria) there is the special term Steirischer Mischsatz (also Altsteirischer Mischsatz). A widely used term in German-speaking countries is Gemischter Satz. In Franconia there is the Fränkischer Satz with typical varieties of this German growing region. An origin-protected designation within the EU is Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC. See also under Weinrebe.
