Krautinger of the year 2024: Yvonne ProSser shines despite harvesting problems

In the picturesque Hochtal Wildschönau, the Krautinger is not only valued as a drink, but also rages as a cultural landmark in the heart of the community. In 2024, Yvonne ProSser from the "Ebersau" farm won the title "Krautinger of the Year", despite a challenging year for the schnapps burners in the region.

The election took place on October 6th as part of the museum skirching day in the Mining Museum Z’bach in Oberau. This autumn festival, which comes up with real Tyrolean flair, is one of the popular events in the area. In addition to traditional music, visitors can also enjoy culinary specialties such as the delicious lard noodles and of course try a sip from the Krautinger.

A top -class jury selects the winner

The jury, who came together in the Loya Stube with Hildegard Moser, consisted of well-known personalities, including the famous landlady Rosi Schipflinger, notary Dr. Franz Strasser and the Servus TV director Mathea Holaus. Your job was to determine the best herbing. In the afternoon, Yvonne ProSser was announced as the winner. The Krautinger also achieved a certain level of awareness beyond the borders of the Wildschönau and even received an award at the Craft Spirit Award in Berlin, which underlines its quality.

This year's harvest presented the Brenner with great challenges. The beet harvest was anything but lush, which affects the quality and availability of the Krautinger. Despite all the efforts, the region was not always good for the weather, which makes the dependence on natural circumstances particularly clear. Members of the Wildschönauer Krautinger working group look at the next harvest and hope for better conditions for the future.

The meaning of the herbing for the Wildschönau cannot be emphasized enough. It is a foundation of local culture and tradition, comparable to the crooked tower of Pisa for the city of the same name. The coming weeks and months will show how the producers master the challenges and whether the tradition of the Krautinger remains alive. In a world that is constantly changing, this high-percentage remains a symbol of durability and craftsmanship.
