Weingut Pichler-Krutzler

Elisabeth Pichler-Krutzler and Erich Krutzler grew up surrounded by wine and played a key role in their parents’ estates for many years – she in the Wachau, he in southern Burgenland. Winegrowing is, so to speak, in their blood. It was therefore the logical, almost inevitable consequence of their marriage that they would establish their own winery. In 2007, they started with a modest 10,000 bottles; today, around 15 different wines are produced year after year from some 14 hectares of vineyards in famous sites such as Supperin, Loibenberg, Kellerberg and Pfaffenberg. Set against the unique natural and cultural landscape of the Wachau, these vineyards – cultivated sustainably and with respect for nature, and certified organic since 2022 – produce wines that do full justice to their special origins in every respect: not meant for quick consumption, but demanding attention and passion. In the cellar, intervention is kept to an absolute minimum, for it is permitted rather than imposed. The end result should be wines with soul and character, as authentic as nature intended, and which do not chase after popular mainstream trends. Pichler-Krutzler wines are pure, unadulterated and uncompromising. They are harvested and processed from single plots. As no enhancement, water or juice removal, fining or additives are used, all wines are presented completely unvarnished and authentic – simply high-quality craftsmanship without trendy trends. A historic wine-tasting courtyard in Unterloiben/Rothenhof has now become the winery’s headquarters following extensive renovation and refurbishment.

Elisabeth Pichler-Krutzler and Erich Krutzler grew up with wine and played a key role in their parents' businesses for many years; she in the Wachau, he in southern Burgenland, and viticulture was instilled in them from childhood. So the logical, almost natural consequence of their marriage was their own winery. In 2007, they started with a meager 10,000 bottles, and today they produce about 15 different wines from famous vineyards such as Supperin, Loibenberg, Kellerberg or Pfaffenberg, on about 14 hectares of vineyards. In the unique natural and cultural landscape of the Wachau, these vineyards - cultivated sustainably and with respect for nature, and certified organic since 2022 - produce wines that do justice to their special origins in every respect: nothing for quick enjoyment, but demanding attention and passion. In the cellar is intervened as little as possible, because it is allowed and not made. In the end, there should be wines with soul and character, which are as authentic as nature dictates, and which do not chase OF any popular mainstream. Pichler Krutzler wines are pure, unadulterated and uncompromising. They are harvested and processed on a parcel-by-parcel basis. Since no improvement, water or juice extraction, any fining and additives are used, all wines are completely unadorned and authentic - high-quality craftsmanship without fashionable tendencies.
