The Weingut Kerschbaum is one of Austria’s leading wineries. It is situated in Horitschon, in the Blaufränkisch region of Burgenland. The term ‘Blaufränkischland’ refers to a wine-growing region in Central Burgenland where the Blaufränkisch grape variety is the main one cultivated. Paul Kerschbaum’s aim is to produce powerful, long-lasting wines with a hint of oak. In 2011, Paul Kerschbaum handed over responsibility for wine production to his son Michael.

Paul Kerschbaum Cuvée consists of a balanced blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot. Following a 28-day maceration period, the wine is aged for 24 months in new oak barrels to refine its aromas and structure. This is followed by a further 12 months of bottle ageing at the winery. After this careful ageing process, the wine is bottled and sealed with a natural cork.
