Pannonian warmth — Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt and world-class sweet wines.
Austria's eastern border region around the shallow Lake Neusiedl is its warmest and reddest. The lake's autumn mists encourage noble rot for luscious sweet wines, while the hills to the south make spicy, age-worthy Blaufränkisch.

Say it at the table
“Burgenland is Austria's red wine country — Blaufränkisch is dark-fruited and peppery with fresh acidity, a bit like a cool-climate Syrah.”
