One of the eight specific wine-growing regions in the Austrian province or generic wine-growing region of Lower Austria. It was formed in 1985 by merging the formerly two independent wine-growing regions of Gumpoldskirchen and Bad Vöslau, which are also among the most important wine-growing communities. The thermal baths, which were already known in ancient times, gave the area its name. The area stretches from the southern outskirts of the Austrian capital Vienna along a chain of hills to the south of the spa town of Baden.

History

Austria's oldest vineyard, the Stiftsweingut Heiligenkreuz - Freigut Thallern near Gumpoldskirchen, was founded in 1141 by the Cistercians of Heiligenkreuz Abbey. Since the 13th century, the right to serve wine, known as Leitgeben (Leutgeben), has been a tradition. There were rich wine yields in the 14th and 15th centuries.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
