One of the six specific wine-growing regions in the Austrian province or generic wine-growing region of Burgenland. Restructuring took place in 2016 with changes to the designations and area boundaries. The former name Südburgenland was replaced by Eisenberg. The new name was chosen because the "ü" could have a disruptive effect when exporting and "Eisenberg" was already the name of the traditional wine-growing region in the past. From the 12th century onwards, the Cistercian monastic order in particular contributed a great deal to the development of viticulture here. After the phylloxera catastrophe, the Uhudler speciality was born here at the beginning of the 20th century.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
