Uhudler

Designation for the typical rustic type of wine from Burgenland in Austria. The Uhudler was born at the beginning of the 20th century and was caused by the phylloxera catastrophe. After the appearance of the pest in the second half of the 19th century, phylloxera-resistant American vines were introduced, which (as one of the many unsuccessful attempts) were crossed with European vines in order to transfer this resistance. It was only later that the actual solution was recognised, namely to graft European scions onto American rootstocks. However, ungrafted American vines were also cultivated and used to make wine. Such ungrafted vines are called direct producers, regardless of their origin.
