Lisa Kölly-Pfneisl becomes the first president of the Blaufränkisch Association
A remarkable change has taken place in the Blaufränkisch Mittelburgenland association. On Sunday, October 20, 2024, Lisa Kölly-Pfneisl from Deutschkreutz was elected as the new president. She takes over from Walter Kirnbauer, who was at the helm for many years and at the same time manages the K&K Kirnbauer winery. The election was unanimous, which is a strong sign of trust from the members.
Lisa Kölly-Pfneisl not only brings her passion for viticulture, but also in-depth marketing knowledge, which she was able to deepen in 2024 by taking over her parents' winery. Your new role brings the opportunity for fresh impulses in the regional wine industry, especially with regard to the marketing of wine, which plays a crucial role in Central Burgenland.
The new board
Under Kölly-Pfneisl, the new board is supplemented by Anton Iby from the Iby winery in Horitschon as deputy president, Gerald Wieder from “Neckenmarkt – Die Winzer” as cashier and Christian Prickler from the Prickler winery in Lutzmannsburg as secretary. In total, the 23 members of the board are made up of winegrowers who carry out their work on a voluntary basis.
This election is particularly striking because it brings a woman to the top of the association - a milestone in the history of Austrian winemaking. The wine scene in Central Burgenland is excited about the innovations and changes that Kölly-Pfneisl could introduce. Due to her experience and commitment, she is expected to have a lasting impact on the development of the wine industry.
For many in the region, this change in leadership is not only a change at the top, but also an opportunity to steer viticulture in Central Burgenland in a new direction. Kölly-Pfneisl's support is highly valued by members and could open up new perspectives for the marketing and enjoyment of the wine.
