A wine-growing community in the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Thermenregion. Until 1985, it was an independent wine-growing region alongside Gumpoldskirchen. It was not until 1772 that the production of red wine began. The first red grape variety was Blauer Portugieser, which became known here under the synonym Vöslauer (also Badener). This is where the Schlumberger estate is located, home to the famous and historically significant Goldeck vineyard. This company is the birthplace of Austria’s first sparkling wine, produced in 1850 from Blauer Portugieser grapes. Robert Aldwin Schlumberger (1814–1879) planted the first vineyards with French red grape varieties.
