Zagersdorf

Wine-growing community near Eisenstadt in the Burgenland wine-growing region of Leithaberg in Austria. Like the whole of Burgenland, it belonged to Hungary until 1920/21 (Hungarian name Zárány, Croatian name Cogrstof). Grape seeds of the species Vitis vinifera were discovered here after the Second World War (1939-1945) in a Celtic burial mound from the Hallstatt period around 700 BC. At that time, the Celts practised viticulture in this area. This makes the village one of the oldest wine-growing communities in Central Europe, alongside Stillfried in the Weinviertel.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
