{"title":"Krug Winery","description":"The Krug family has been cultivating wine in Gumpoldskirchen since 1746. In 1998, the wine cellar was relocated, and a modern, functional winery was built amidst the vineyards. Today, we cultivate 35 hectares of the best sites in the Thermenregion and are committed to sustainable viticulture. We place just as much importance on the meticulous care of the vineyards as on the rigorous selection of healthy, ripe grapes. And in the production of our wines, we draw upon a treasure trove that few wineries worldwide can afford: wines from the best vintages. The Krug winery comprises approximately 35 hectares of traditionally cultivated vineyards, following the principles of sustainable production. The vineyards are located exclusively in and around Gumpoldskirchen, a true goldmine for winemakers. This results in characterful wines that are repeatedly chosen as varietal champions or awarded gold and silver medals. Even the ancient Romans recognized the advantages of the Thermenregion. Even today, the \u0026quot;Burgundy of Austria\u0026quot; along the climatically favored thermal spring line is considered a true goldmine. The weather, clay and limestone soils offer optimal conditions for powerful and complex white wines such as the region\u0026#39;s typical Rotgipfler and Zierfandler, but also for red wines with long aging and storage potential. We always ensure that the wines promise great drinking pleasure even when young.","products":[{"product_id":"weingut-krug-gemischter-satz","title":"Krug Winery Gemischter Satz","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic Viennese Gemischter Satz – fresh, fragrant, uncomplicated.
