Neusiedlersee is one of Austria's most distinctive wine regions, built around the vast shallow lake that straddles the Burgenland and the Hungarian border. The lake moderates temperatures and generates the autumn mists that create perfect conditions for noble rot — making this region world-famous for luscious sweet wines such as Ruster Ausbruch, one of the oldest classified sweet wine appellations in the world. Beyond the sweet wines, the warm Pannonian climate also yields rich Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch reds and characterful whites with real depth and personality.
