ABOUT THIS WINE
Weingut Zahel's Orange "T" NV is a white wine from Vienna, Austria, made exclusively from the Orangetraube grape. This variety is not listed in the official register for DAC Vienna wines, which influences the wine's labeling as 'Orange T' and the omission of the vintage year on the bottle; the lot number serves as an identifier for the vintage. Weingut Zahel, the producer, is known for its commitment to quality and sustainable, organic, and biodynamic farming practices, blending traditional winemaking with modern innovation.
