Weingut Paul Kerschbaum

I met Michael Kerschbaum and his winemaking consultant Josef Pusch in early February at their new facilities just outside of Horitschon to taste the current releases. “The 2012s have more volume but less structure than the 2011s,” Kerschbaum told me, “but my favorites remain 2009, 2006 and 2004.” The 2011s, Kerschbaum’s first vintage, were all generously extracted and heavily oaked. He took over the domain from his father Paul at the age of 23 and has slowly begun to develop his own style. Paul only began to bottle his wines in 1998, but grew quickly to establish himself firmly in the domestic market. As the estate now owns 35 hectares of vineyards in three of the best sites in Horitschon--Hochacker, Durrau and Gfanger--it has both quality and volume potential, and a strong label for Michael Kerschbaum to build on.
