✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Weingut Krug has cultivated vineyards in the historic Lower Austrian village of Gumpoldskirchen since 1746. Located within the Thermenregion—traditionally regarded as the Burgundy of Austria due to its shared latitude and calcareous terroir—the estate oversees approximately 35 hectares of prime vines. Helmed by winemaker Gustav Krug alongside his family, the winery couples centuries-old heritage with modernized cellar facilities constructed amidst the vineyards in 1998. Viticulture focuses on near-natural, sustainable vineyard stewardship across loamy, limestone-rich soils warmed by Pannonian basin airflows. In the cellar, Krug favors meticulous fruit selection and controlled oak maturation. The producer is renowned both for regional benchmark white grapes—most notably indigenous Rotgipfler and Zierfandler—and for its cellar-aged reserves and cuvées such as Die Vollendung, Die Versuchung, and single-vineyard bottlings from Ried Rasslerin. Krug crafts wines distinguished by structural richness, concentrated aromatics, and prolonged aging potential.
