Orangetraube has been a part of Zahel's Gemischter Satz field blends since the winery began in 1930, but only since 1966 did Karl Georg Zahel select the variety and isolate it in a single vineyard. He had noticed that the Orangetraube gave his Gemischter Satz a unique quality. He began to bottle it independently hoping to highlight the little-known grape in a wine of its own. Two generations later and now biodynamically farmed, Zahel is still the only Austrian winery that produces a wine composed of 100% Orangetraube.
