Gerstacker Nurnberger Gluhwein

Original Christkindlmarkt mulled wine from GERSTACKER... 

...when you want it cosy!

 

The cradle of our mulled wine was at the Nuremberg Christkindl- markt. The famous market is visited every year by millions of people, and they never fail to be captivated by the glittering market stalls as they sample gingerbread, grilled Nuremberg sausages and our delicious hot mulled wine.

 

Its well-balanced blend of natural spices, which include blueberries, aniseed, cardamom, mace petals, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, orange and lemon peel, pimento and much more has made it the most popular mulled wine in Germany. We only use strong, dark red wine from the Montepulciano grape from Italy. Nuremberg mulled wine is under EU protection as a product of particular quality and excellence, which can only be manufactured in Nuremberg.
