The Burgenland appellation, located in eastern Austria, is renowned for the diversity and outstanding quality of its wines. This wine region benefits from a continental climate characterized by hot summers and cold winters, combined with the moderating influence of Lake Neusiedl. The varied terroirs, ranging from loamy-clay to gravelly soils, permit the cultivation of both red and white grape varieties, offering a broad spectrum of flavors.
The red wines, primarily crafted from Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt grapes, are distinguished by their structure, aromatic complexity, and aging potential. In contrast, the white wines often come from grapes such as Grüner Veltliner and Chardonnay, offering fresh and balanced wines with invigorating acidity.
Since achieving DAC (Districtus Austriae Controllatus) status, Burgenland commits to adhering to strict standards of quality and authenticity. Wine enthusiasts can thus recognize and appreciate the typicality of the wines from this iconic region. Whether you are a novice or an expert, discovering Burgenland is to indulge in an authentic and diverse tasting experience, a reflection of a dynamic terroir at the heart of Austria's wine tradition.
