Burgenland is one of Austria’s most important wine regions. Situated in the far east of the country, about an hour’s drive from the capital Vienna, it is best known for its red wines from varieties such as Blaufrankisch and Zweigelt. A continental climate, similar to that seen across the plains of neighbouring Hungary, dominates the region and enables the creation of full-bodied, spicy reds, particularly in the sub region of Mittelburgenland. World famous sweet wines are also made in Neusiedlersee.
