Next to Bergland (Carinthia, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg) and Steirerland (Styria) the third Austrian wine-growing region. With about 90% of Austria's total area, it is by far the largest. It includes the vineyards of the three generic wine-growing regions Burgenland, Lower Austria and Vienna (until 2009 a separate wine-growing region). The designation applies to Landwein from the three federal provinces.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
