Clemens Krutzler
Iron-rich soils, Pannonian heat and cool easterly winds: the Eisenberg in South Burgenland produces dramatic wines. Clemens Krutzler interprets this terroir with surprising lightness. Whilst his father counts among Austria's legendary Blaufränkisch icons with the celebrated Perwolff, the 5th generation embraces low-intervention winemaking and natural yeasts. His CK line has showcased wines of striking freshness since 2020. The CK Mash-Up – an orange wine made from both Blaufränkisch and Welschriesling – is pure experimentation.
More about Clemens Krutzler
When Eisenberg Meets Finesse
The name Eisenberg is no misnomer: iron-rich soils define the wines from the very first sip. Yet whilst this mineral power often leads to robust, tannin-driven red wines, Clemens Krutzler conjures remarkably elegant Blaufränkisch from it. His low-intervention philosophy with natural yeasts and restrained extraction lets the terroir speak without overwhelming it. The CK Blaufränkisch 2022 showcases this signature perfectly: precise, vibrant, with a freshness that elegantly plays with the iron-rich subsoil.
Orange Wine Revolution: The Legendary CK Mash-Up
Experimental spirit is systematic at Clemens Krutzler. His CK Mash-Up breaks all the rules: Blaufränkisch and Welschriesling are co-fermented on the skins – an orange wine that places both varieties in an entirely new light. This variable skin contact time and ageing sur lie create textures and aromas that surprise even seasoned sommeliers. The CK Mash-Up 2023 is pure curiosity in bottle form – and a statement for the new Austrian orange wine scene.
Microclimate as Natural Temperature Regulator
The Pannonian microclimate between Deutsch-Schützen and Eisenberg plays perfectly into Clemens's hands. Whilst daytime heat develops intense aromas, cool winds from East Styria bring the necessary freshness. This natural temperature fluctuation preserves the acidity structure that makes his wines so vibrant. This climatic balance is equally evident in the white wine range: the CK Welschriesling 2023 unites southern richness with alpine freshness.
Generational Change with Respect and Revolution
Whilst colleagues like Roland Velich of Moric have perfected the powerful Blaufränkisch style of Burgenland, Clemens chooses a different path. Since 2020, he has managed his 12 hectares with sustainability certification and the utmost restraint. The CK line does not compete with his father Reinhold's legendary Perwolff, but rather complements the winery with an entirely new dimension of elegance.
