Hailing from the historic wine-growing town of Gumpoldskirchen in Austria's Thermenregion, Weingut Krug's Ried Rasslerin is a stunning showcase of the rare, indigenous Rotgipfler grape. The Rasslerin vineyard is a prized south-facing site characterized by warm Pannonian winds and deep, calcareous soils rich in shell limestone. This unique terroir allows the late-ripening Rotgipfler to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness, yielding a wine of remarkable depth, texture, and complexity. Traditionally fermented and aged in large wooden casks, this white wine beautifully balances opulent tropical fruit notes with a fine, mineral-driven acidity, embodying the rich winemaking heritage of Lower Austria.
🍾 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.
