Hailing from the historic wine-growing village of Gumpoldskirchen in Lower Austria (Niederösterreich), Weingut Krug has a winemaking heritage dating back to 1746. While the estate is widely celebrated for its traditional Thermenregion specialties like Rotgipfler and Zierfandler, they also craft an elegant, expressive Sauvignon Blanc. The region's unique terroir—characterized by heavy loam and limestone soils combined with warm, dry winds from the Pannonian Plain—imparts a distinctive mineral character and vibrant acidity to the wine. Fermented and aged primarily in stainless steel to preserve its fresh, aromatic profile, this Sauvignon Blanc showcases bright citrus, green apple, and subtle herbaceous notes, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship of the Krug family.
🍾 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.
