Krug The red temptation

A fully mature red wine from the Krug winery – Austrian terroir meets classic Bordeaux-inspired style. This red temptation demonstrates what old vines from the Gumpoldskirchen region are capable of: concentrated fruit, structure, and sheer drinking pleasure all in one.

The Krug winery vinifies this wine from hand-picked, fully ripe grapes from older vines – the reduced number of berries per vine results in a natural concentration that is noticeable in the glass. Gumpoldskirchen, located south of Vienna, is known for its calcareous soils and a warm Pannonian climate, which produces red wines with depth and maturity.

The nose offers dark berry fruits – blackberry, blackcurrant – with a hint of plum. On the palate, a soft chocolate and cocoa note, pleasantly integrated tannins, medium body. The finish is warm and lingering.

  • Temperature: 16–18 °C
  • Food: Roast beef fillet, venison goulash, mature mountain cheese or dark chocolate to finish
  • Occasion: An uncomplicated evening wine during the week or to accompany a leisurely Sunday roast

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.
