The story
1922 Cross
National Favorite
Reliable Yields
Fritz Zweigelt decided in 1922 that St. Laurent needed a tougher partner, so he crossed it with Blaufränkisch to create something robust yet charming. Originally called Rotburger, this crossbreed survived turbulent history to become the nation's most planted red. It was designed for reliability in the vineyard and pure joy in the glass, effectively conquering every tavern from Vienna to the Styrian hills with remarkable speed and gusto.

Imagine hopping on a tram, hiking up a hill, and stumbling into a vineyard without leaving the city limits. This is the only capital city worldwide producing significant wine quantities, mostly defined by sociable taverns.

Burgenland
Austria's secret weapon against the cold. It is the sunny side of the country where red wines actually get ripe and sweet wines turn into liquid gold. Think of it as Austria's answer to Napa, just flatter.
