Description

Tessa Brown and Jeremy Schmolzer have a knack for making wines that are just flat-out delicious to drink, and the Pret-a-Blanc is the perfect example. It is their riff on the Austrian Gemischter Satz style - a traditional Viennese field blend originally designed to mitigate risk in the vineyard, but loved today for its freshness and versatility.

Sourced from the cool Upper King Valley, the 2025 release brings together four varieties: Pinot Gris, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Sylvaner. It’s a textural mix where the varieties fill in each other's gaps. The Riesling provides the cut and drive, the Pinot Gris adds a bit of weight and gloss, while the Sauvignon Blanc and Sylvaner bring the aromatics and spice.

It is crisp, dry and totally charming. This is the ultimate all-rounder in their range - a wine that feels just as at home alongside a roast chicken as it does flying solo on a Tuesday night.

    Wife Pleaser

    This is a wonderfully put together blend of some varieties you don't often see on the same label. We really enjoyed it with a home made Thai prawn green curry.

    Great Alsatian-style white blend

    This is a genuinely delicious wine - probably the best Aussie Alsatian-style white blend I've had - highly recommended.

    Nice

    Easy to drink and good for afternoon parties

Gemischtersatz is a category of dry, refreshing white wine grown around Vienna in Austria. The Austrian wine contains as many as ten or eleven varieties as a field blend, which is intended to mitigate viticultural risk. Our 2025 boasts four varieties: Pinot gris, Riesling, Sauvignon blanc & Sylvaner and is from several upper King Valley sites. It's a refreshing, dry and crisp wine, in which we hope we’ve respected the traditional style.

Vignerons Schmölzer & Brown

Tessa and Jeremy are playing a long-game with their Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown label.

They have invested in a block of land high in the hills behind Beechworth and have planted 10,000 vines on it over the last couple of years with the plan to farm it organically. Tessa has a wealth of experience from time at Sorrenberg and Kooyong, Jeremy is an architect by trade with an eye for detail.

It comes as no surprise that the buzz around this husband and wife team is palpable and the praise is high. Max Allen called them, “one of a remarkable number of impressive new wine labels to have cropped up in Beechworth over the last five years.”

They are going to be at the forefront of Beechworth wine for many years to come.
