One of the six specific wine-growing regions in the Austrian province or the generic wine-growing region of Burgenland. It was restructured in 2016 with some changes to the designations and area boundaries. Apart from that, the name remained the same. Some vineyards in the Neusiedlersee wine-growing region were assigned to the Leithaberg wine-growing region (formerly the Neusiedlersee-Hügelland wine-growing region). These were the municipalities of Jois and Winden, as well as some vineyards in the municipality of Neusiedl am See.

The area is named after the 320 km² large and 36 km long steppe lake. In the vernacular it is often referred to as Seewinkel because it nestles at an angle to the lake. It stretches from the north of the province along the northern and the entire eastern shore of the lake to the border with Hungary.

For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
