Our growing area Halbturn
Halbturn is located in Burgenland, the sunniest area in Austria, east of Lake Neusiedl not far from the Hungarian border. The southern slope of the Parndorfer Platte, which was formed by Ice Age gravel deposits from the Danube, is called Wagram. Traditionally, there are large vineyards along the Wagram from Neusiedl am See via Gols to Halbturn. The Wagram is only 400 to 1000 meters wide. The southern slopes of the Wagram "wine mountains" are among the highest quality vineyards in the region.
Halbturn and the wine
Halbturn is today part of Burgenland wine-growing region. In the Subregion Neusiedlersee a diverse range of varieties are planted on 6.675 ha. The diversity of the terroir of this wine-growing region creates diverse wines of different characteristics.
The area lies in the heart of the Pannonian climate zone. This climate is characterized by hot, dry summers with moderate rainfall and cold winters with little snow. An important factor for the microclimate is the largest steppe lake in Central Europe, Lake Neusiedl.
