Since its founding in 1989, the Kerschbaum winery in Horitschon has been known for its uncompromising quality and passion for Blaufränkisch.

Tradition meets modern spirit

Located in the heart of sunny Burgenland, the Kerschbaum winery is one of the pioneers of Austrian Blaufränkisch. Founded by Paul Kerschbaum in the late 1980s with just three hectares, it has grown to a considerable size of 40 hectares in the last three decades. Now his son Michael runs the business with passion whilst combining tradition with modern precision. Signature wines such as Blaufränkisch, Riede Dürrau and the Cuvée Impresario, composed of Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, stand for powerful elegance and great aging potential.

With his newest special edition the Blaufränkisch "X", 2015, Michael Kerschbaum launched his most personal project so far. Introduced to the market in October 2025, the "X" makes the enjoyment of true maturity in red wines accessible.
