Crafted by Weingut Krug, located in the historic thermal region of Gumpoldskirchen within Niederösterreich, this Gemischter Satz represents a deeply rooted Austrian winemaking tradition. Unlike modern single-varietal wines, a Gemischter Satz is a field blend where multiple grape varieties are grown, harvested, and co-fermented together in the same vineyard. The Krug family, whose viticultural roots in the region date back to 1746, utilizes this ancient method to capture the diverse terroir of their clay-limestone soils. The resulting wine is a vibrant, multi-dimensional expression of the vineyard, showcasing a harmonious balance of crisp acidity, rich texture, and aromatic complexity that pays homage to the classic Austrian Heuriger (wine tavern) heritage.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in Reims in 1843 by Joseph Krug, the House of Krug has established itself as one of Champagne's most legendary and uncompromising names. Operating from its historic cellars at 5 Rue Coquebert, the house is celebrated for its traditional production methods, notably fermenting all its base wines in small oak casks and maintaining an unparalleled library of reserve wines to achieve extraordinary complexity. This meticulous approach yields deeply structured, age-worthy sparkling wines, ranging from the iconic multi-vintage Grande Cuvée to rare, single-vineyard masterpieces like Clos d'Ambonnay, a highly coveted Blanc de Noirs sourced from a tiny walled plot in the heart of Ambonnay.
