Central Burgenland

One of the six specific wine-growing regions in the Austrian province or generic wine-growing region of Burgenland. In 2016, a reorganisation took place with some changes to the names and area boundaries. However, Mittelburgenland was not affected by this; the name and boundaries remained the same.

Mittelburgenland (Blaufränkischland) - Neckenmarkt mit Ried Grunderitsch

History

The Celts and Romans were already cultivating vines here. According to legend, the Frankish Emperor Charlemagne (742-814) also visited this region. Cistercian monks from Burgundy brought the grape varieties Blaufränkisch and Pinot Gris (Pinot Gris) with them in the Middle Ages and cultivated viticulture.
