K+K Kirnbauer Winery

A Kingdom for a Grape

A credo, a slogan and a promise that has been lived at K+K Kirnbauer from the very beginning.

Across 46 hectares of vineyards in some of the finest sites around Deutschkreutz in Central Burgenland, we craft distinctive red and white wines characterised by impressive texture and a velvety, silky smoothness. Markus and Marlene Kirnbauer jointly lead the family winery, cultivating varieties such as Blaufränkisch, Merlot, Cabernet, Syrah, Zweigelt, Welschriesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Grüner Veltliner. Gentle handling of the grapes, meticulous berry selection, individually controlled fermentation and careful maturation in barrique barrels ensure exceptional quality – and bring the spirit of Pannonian joie de vivre into every bottle.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

The Vision of
K+K Kirnbauer

Our vision is to create distinctive wines through craftsmanship, innovation and a deep respect for nature. Wines that embody both the traditions and the future of winemaking. As a family-owned winery, sustainability and authenticity are at the heart of everything we do.

 

Our wines are meant to do more than impress with quality. They are meant to tell stories – stories of the region, of the people who create them with passion and dedication, and of the unforgettable moments they accompany.

Sustainability

In both our vineyards and winery, we are committed to sustainable and organic farming. Protecting nature and conserving resources while keeping our carbon footprint as low as possible is our contribution to preserving ideal conditions for winemaking in Central Burgenland for generations to come.

 

We use 100% renewable energy and keep tractor use in our vineyards to a minimum to protect the soil and preserve the natural environment. We completely refrain from using herbicides and insecticides. Social responsibility and sourcing from regional partners are equally important parts of our approach.

LEGENDARY

Das
Phantom

Since 1987, DAS PHANTOM has been the flagship wine of K+K Kirnbauer. It consistently maintains its quality while surprising with something new with every vintage. But DAS PHANTOM is more than a signature wine – its story evolves year after year, brought to life through a new campaign with every vintage.

„For wine is a mirror
to men.“

ALCAEUS, 630-580 BC.

THE ONE AND ONLY

Das Phantom

Cuvée

Our flagship cuvée, led by Blaufränkisch and complemented by Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah, reveals a deep garnet-red colour. Its remarkable viscosity is reflected in slow, tightly formed legs in the glass, an early sign of its concentration and structure.

On the palate, the wine is precise and fruit-driven, with cherry taking centre stage. A delicate salty edge and spicy, almost oriental notes add tension and complexity. Fruit, spice and acidity come together in perfect balance. The long, lingering finish reveals promising tannins that give the wine structure, depth and plenty of ageing potential.

The nose reveals layer upon layer of aromas: Amarena cherry meets cool mint and the delicate tartness of rowan berry. Ripe cranberry and blackberry add juicy fruit intensity, while earthy notes from the Merlot bring depth and warmth, complemented by pecan, dark chocolate and subtle spice.

Simply PHANTOMastic!

OUR SIGNATURE VINEYARDS

Blaufränkisch at
its finest

The “Blaufränkischland” in the heart of Burgenland is one of Austria’s key regions for red wine. In Deutschkreutz, deep clay soils provide ideal conditions for our wines. Their excellent water-retention capacity, combined with the moderating influence of nearby Lake Neusiedl, creates an exceptional foundation for viticulture. Around Deutschkreutz, outstanding vineyard sites produce wines with distinctive personalities.
