One of the six specific wine-growing regions in the Austrian province or generic wine-growing region of Burgenland. It was restructured in 2016 with changes to the designations and area boundaries. The newly defined Rosalia wine-growing region replaced the former Großlage in the district of Mattersburg. It is located on the eastern slope of the Rosaliengebirge, which stretches along the border between Lower Austria and Burgenland.
The highest elevation is the Heuberg (also Rosalia) at 748 metres above sea level. Due to the strawberry, wine, sweet chestnut and the many cultivated fruit varieties, the region has been given the nickname "Sweet Region". Large natural areas form the "Rosalia-Kogelberg" nature park. The area adjoins the Leithaberg wine-growing region to the south.
