Cuvée Classic

Krug is primarily known as a Champagne house – but the Cuvée Classic shows another side: a fruit-forward red wine that manages without wood aging and thus relies consistently on the purity of the grape varieties.

In the foreground are aromatic Morello cherries, which characterize the nose and palate equally. Added to this is a mild, well-integrated acidity that gives the wine freshness without overlaying the fruit. The tannins are gentle and structured – not a bulky framework, but a soft foundation that rounds off the sip.

The renunciation of wood is a conscious decision: here the fruits should speak, not the barrel. The result is an accessible, everyday-suitable red wine with a clear aromatic line.

The Winery

Weingut Krug

Weingut Krug – Gumpoldskirchen since 1746. In 1998, a modern winery operation was built in the middle of the vineyards. 35 hectares in the best sites of the thermal region, natural viticulture, strict selection.

The soils of clay and limestone – even the ancient Romans knew how to appreciate them. Rotgipfler and Zierfandler grow here, powerful, multi-layered white wines, but also red wines with aging potential. And the claim: to offer high drinking pleasure even at a young age.

Variety winners, gold, silver – the Weingut Krug is a true gold mine. Austria's Burgundy, as it tastes.
