So when deciding to visit Austria, the decision wasn’t WHETHER to visit a wine region, it was WHICH region to visit.1 Yes, many are more familiar with Niederösterreich (Lower Austria) particularly Wachau, but as a red wine lover first, I wanted to check out the red wines that had been becoming more and more prominent in the world.
Leithaberg exemplified certainly describes a visit at Weingut Markus Altenburger. And Markus Altenburger is the perfect person to tell you all about it. The Leithaberg DAC1 is a subregion of Burgenland and one of the oldest winegrowing zones in the world.
Weingut Juris was one of my fabulous tasting destinations during my Burgenland wine adventure.1
Weingut Pittnauer is a must do when visiting Burgenland. With a cool factor to which I’ve always aspired, Gerhard Pittnauer was an absolute joy to taste with.1
After visiting and tasting with Judith Beck, next up was a tasting with Paul Achs. Man oh man, I’m so happy I included Weingut Paul Achs in my Burgenland winetasting lineup! Tasting with Paul was quite a treat! 1
When in Austria, a trip to taste the juice of Burgenland is a must. I was going to try to compile all of the wineries I visited into one post but that just wouldn’t do it any justice. So I’ve decided to write about all of the wonderful winemakers I was privileged to visit and taste with.
