Treat recommendation from Die Rupps: genuine vintner's punch for the festive season

Only a hot drink of uncompromising quality suits a sophisticated culinary concept like that of the Herzstück. Just a few kilometres away, in the idyllic wine-growing village of Höflein (Lower Austria), the family business Die Rupps crafts artisanally refined beverage specialities.

Following the firm philosophy of cellar master Gerald Rupp – "Only good wine makes good mulled wine!" – our Organic Mulled Red Wine and Organic Mulled White Wine are made exclusively with full-bodied quality wines from Carnuntum, infused with real spice extracts of cinnamon, cloves and orange peel rather than artificial flavourings.

As a refreshing lifestyle innovation for 2026, the new Rupps Calamansi Punch is a true delight: this rare cross between mandarin and kumquat brings a vibrant, citrus-fresh elegance to the cup, pairing perfectly with the delicious tapas at Das Herzstück and replacing typical winter sweetness with an invigorating fruitiness.
