The Austrian wine region of Neusiedlersee lies between the lake of the same name and the Hungarian border. Beautiful, sweet wines are made here. The shallow lake warms up considerably in the summer. In the morning, the water is warmer than the cool air and the mist drifts over the vineyards. The grapes become porous, lose water and shrivel. Sickly sweet grape juice remains. But that's not all. More and more winegrowers are making stylish dry white and red quality wines.
To get so-called 'noble rot' of grapes, you need special conditions: a long sunny autumn with a lot of fog. In the famous French Sauternes you have that. Around the Neusiedlersee in Austria you have something similar. The shallow lake warms up considerably in the summer. In the morning, the water is warmer than the cool air and the fog drifts over the vineyards. The grapes become porous, lose water and shrivel. Very sweet grape juice remains.
The winegrowers in Neusiedlersee make beautiful Prädikat wines from this, such as Beerenausleses, Ausbruchs and Trockenbeerenausleses ('TBA'). The Welschriesling is perhaps the most important ingredient for these noble sweet wines, but in fact all the grapes that grow there are used. The Roter Traminer, with its fine spiciness, also lends itself wonderfully to this type of wine.
It is certainly not only sweet wines that are made in the more than 7,500 hectares of vineyards of the Neusiedlersee wine district. More and more modern winegrowers are discovering the possibilities of making dry wines. Red wines from the Zweigelt grape in particular do very well. They are fruity and concentrated. Some are matured in wood. We currently have three wines from Neusiedlersee in our range. You can view all our wines from Neusiedlersee here.
