Best Burgenland Alcoholic Beverage Types
Blaufränkisch is an Austrian grape variety that is mostly used in the production of fruit-forward varietal wines. This late-ripening grape is cultivated in several wine regions, but Burgenland remains its stronghold. The best expressions of Austrian Blaufränkisch are medium-bodied wines with spicy notes of red and dark berries, refreshing acidity, and firm, but not overpowering tannins.
These wines pair well with a variety of dishes such as roasted or grilled white meat, beef, game, mushrooms, tomato-based sauces, and various cheese varieties. Although it was first identified in Austria, the origin of Blaufränkisch has not yet been discovered.

Uhudler is a unique type of wine produced in the Burgenland region of Austria.
It's made from hybrid grape varieties that are a cross between Vitis vinifera (the common European wine grape species) and American species of grapes. These grape types were originally introduced to Europe in an attempt to resist phylloxera, a pest that devastated European vineyards in the 19th century.
Ruster Ausbruch is a prestigious sweet wine from the municipality of Rust in Austria, crafted from white grape varieties affected by Botrytis cinerea, also known as noble rot, which concentrates the sugars and flavors in the grapes. The result is a wine with a high natural sugar content, a dense texture, and a golden to amber-yellow hue.
It boasts complex flavors of dried fruits, honey, caramelized almonds, and exotic fruits. The unique microclimate near Lake Neusiedl and traditional hand-harvesting methods contribute to its distinctiveness. Additionally, to preserve its authenticity, Ruster Ausbruch must be bottled within the Rust region.

BEST Weingut Keringer Wines
The Kracher Winery lies in the Seewinkel area of Austria´s Burgenland. Here, through the evaporative periods of Lake Neusiedl, the evening fog and the warm Pannonian climate, continuous warm-humid weather patterns are dominant and, therefore, allow for Botrytis cinerea to be generated.
This is what provides the basis for the fantastic sweet wines such as Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese.

BEST Weingut Scheiblhofer Wines
As brothers, we complemented each other very well even as children, despite our different interests and talents. This is still the case today and we can contribute to the success of our family winery with our know-how on various levels: We enjoy working together in our vineyards, Hans Michael bears great responsibility for the style and expressiveness of our wines in the cellar and Andreas is responsible for sales and presence at tastings.
We stand for stability, handshake quality, family history, but also for a new perspective on the whole - and the naturalness among brothers to always challenge each other with respect and to develop new things together.
