The idyllic southern Burgenland is the most pristine wine landscape in Burgenland and stretches from Rechnitz in the north to near Güssing in the south. In the north, primary rock soils predominate; further south, medium-heavy clay soils prevail, some of which have a high iron content. The total vineyard area is about 499 hectares.
The Eisenberg in particular has great historical significance and together with the Deutsch Schützen vineyard, functions as the viticultural centre of the area. The classic red wines of southern Burgenland are made from the Blaufränkisch variety and are marketed under the designation "Eisenberg DAC" ("Eisenberg DAC Reserve" from the 2008 production vintage).
In addition to the classically fruity varietal representatives, the dense, mineral reserves are among Austria's great red wines and typical of the region. Around Rechnitz and Moschendorf in the south, particularly fruity and tangy Welschrieslings and Weißburgunder are also produced.
On the Csaterberg near Kohfidisch and along the Pinkatal Wine Route from Wintener via the Kulmer and Gaaser vineyards, very elegant wines are pressed in beautiful idyllic surroundings with many Kellerstöckln. The attractive surroundings also invite you to take relaxing walks and bike tours.
Around Heiligenbrunn and Moschendorf in the far south, one encounters the "Uhudler", a special wine specialty, which is pressed from direct carrier hybrids and has many lovers with its scent of wild strawberries.
