The wine region of Burgenland
Burgenland is a large wine-producing region on the eastern border of Austria.

Sweet, botrytized wines are also a specialty of the region, particularly in the Terroir surrounding the Neusiedlersee lake. The region occupies a narrow strip of land that runs from the Danube River down to Steiermark in the South.
