Burgenland wines – unique variety and quality

The continental, hot Pannonian climate of South Burgenland gives rise to both excellent reds and white wines, the leading varieties of them all being Blaufränkisch and Welschriesling. The red wines pressed in the most eastern region of Austria are considered the most full-bodied representatives. While east of Lake Neusiedler, Blaue Zweigelt as well as Blaufränkisch and Sankt Laurent are primarily grown, the Seewinkel is one of the few major sweet wine heartlands in the world. The high air humidity due to the numerous "Zicklacken" salty soil areas promotes the formation of noble rot, which favours the large berry and dry beer harvests. The results are especially high-quality Welschriesling, Chardonnay, Scheurebe and Traminer. Complex white wines arise from the eastern slope of the Leithagebirge with its limestone and slate surface. 

Depending on the soil condition of the respective region, the Blaufränkisch from Burgenland shows different qualities. On the heavy clay soil of Central Burgenland and also north of the Rosaliagebirge, varieties with particular depth in fruit and length grow. Down in the south, the Eisenberg with its special soil and a hint of the Styrian climate offers the best conditions for red wines from the finest minerals and incomparable elegance. 

Burgenland wine culture is especially characterised by the pioneering spirit of the vintners. In recent years, wines of international grape varieties and cuvées achieved the greatest recognition. Since the first origin-typical wine, the Central Burgenland DAC (year 2005), the Leithaberg DAC and the Eisenberg DAC have also reestablished themselves to date. With the introduction of the Neusiedlersee DAC in March 2012, the Burgenland DAC family circle is complete.
