Zweigelt Reserve Eichkogel

A Zweigelt that shows what the grape variety can do when taken seriously: dense cherry fruit, smoky spice, and real depth.

Weingut Krug works in the Thermenregion south of Vienna — one of Austria's warmest wine-growing regions with nutrient-rich soils and long ripening times. The Eichkogel is one of the best sites in the region: the grapes ripen more slowly here than in flatter zones, which gives the wine more structure and backbone.

In the glass, the Zweigelt Reserve shows a rich ruby red. On the nose, ripe sour cherry and black cherry dominate, flanked by smoke notes, dark spice, and a hint of sweet wood. On the palate, the wine appears powerful without becoming heavy — juicy extract, well-integrated tannins, long finish with a slight smoky tone.

Serving temperature: 16–18 °C.
Pairs with beef goulash, grilled duck breast, venison ragout, or strong hard cheese like mountain cheese or Manchego.

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.
