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

A cosy visit to the market calls for a hot drink of first-class artisan quality. True to the philosophy of cellar master Gerald Rupp – "Only good wine makes good mulled wine!" – family business Die Rupps from Höflein (Lower Austria) relies exclusively on the finest base wines and natural spice extracts rather than artificial flavourings.

An absolute crowd-pleaser is the velvety apricot punch: sun-ripened apricots combine full-bodied fruit sweetness with a delicate acid balance – pure fruity delight for the cold season.
