The Castle of Teutonic Order and its wines. Most notably Zierfandler, and Rotgipfler. Both are white wines and are, almost, endemic to Gumpoldskirchen.

When is the best time to visit Gumpoldskirchen?

May-July and Early Autumn, when heurigers are open.

Is Zierfandler wine good?

This one is also referred to as “the late red”, though has not much in common with the red wines. It is because the grapes turn red on the sunny side at the very end of the season, when they are fully ripe. Supposedly, Zierfandler reaches its highest quality as an old wine but I assure that the rich taste of this fine white wine, with a pleasant acidity and a delicate bouquet, will leave nobody disappointed.

Is Rotgipfler wine good?

It is easy to mistake this wine with a red one because even its name suggests it, but just as Zierfandler – Rotgipfler is a white wine. It has a similar rich taste to Zierfandler, mixed between acidity, fruitness and even honey, but Rotgipfler goes easier down your throat than its counterpart.

What is der “Königswein”?

Der “Königswein” is an Oscar-winning wine in Gumpoldskirchen, given out in the late season for meeting the highest quality standards.

What is Spätrot-Rotgipfler?

One of the unique tastes of Gumpoldskirchen is Spätrot-Rotgipfler, which is a Cuvee made out of Zierfandler and Rotgipfler - two famous local white wine grapes.
