Burgenland
Located on the eastern border of Austria, Burgenland is a region renowned for some very high quality white wines which is also rediscovering a thriving production of red wines made from Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt grapes which can benefit from sunny and continental summers. Sweet botrytised wines are a specialty of the region, especially those produced in the terroir that develops around Lake Neusiedl. The region extends over a small strip of land that stretches from the Danube River to Styria. To the west it meets the Alps, to the east it borders on Hungary with which it shares its topographical configuration, so much so that Sopron could be called its extension. It houses four DAC denominations: Neusiedlersee, Leithaberg, Mittelburgenland and Eisenberg. Wines that do not meet the requirements to bear these denominations may indicate the broader Burgenland denomination on the label.
