Austria's most easterly wine DAC in the Pannonian plain east of Vienna, producing Austria's finest Zweigelt and distinctive Blaufränkisch from warm panonnian clay soils on the ancient Roman settlement of Carnuntum. The warm continental climate creates richer, more opulent wines than the Wachau or Kamptal — Austria's equivalent of Burgundy's Côte Chalonnaise with an emphasis on structured reds rather than whites.
