Treasures from a wonderful country

Burgenland owes its characterful wines to the Pannonian climate in its most striking form. The Pannonian climate is characterized by cold winters poor in snow, hot and dry summers as well as a long and mild autumn, which is also known as "Indian summer".
Lake Neusiedl functions as a climatic regulator. Its surface, which extends over 320sq.km, exerts a temperature moderating influence, thus creating ideal conditions for the cultivation of vines.

From the lake westwards, one reaches the Leithagebirge after having passed the gentle slopes of the Ruster Hügelland and the Wulka Plain. Grosshöflein is located at the foot of the highest elevation called Sonnenberg. The vineyards extend over the hills of the Leithagebirge that are oriented towards the south and the southeast.
