The "R"

500 years ago the “R” with the long foot was an important identification symbol for the inhabitants of Rust. In 1524 the Hungarian Queen Mary entitled Rust to brand the “R” as sign of origin into the exported wine barrels.

This was a very important step, as wine from Rust has always guaranteed highest quality and the vintners of Rust have thus laid great emphasis on the place of origin.

Today you will again find the “R” on the corks and labels of the vintners from Rust; it symbolizes tradition on the one hand and is on the other hand a symbol for up-to-date wine-making and a path into the future.
