Thermenregion

Thermenregion, south of Vienna, is one of Austria’s most historic wine regions, tracing its roots to Roman viticulture and later flourishing under Cistercian monks. Its name reflects the region’s geothermal activity, which, along with limestone-rich soils and a warm Pannonian influence, creates ideal conditions for both red and white varieties. Indigenous grapes like Zierfandler and Rotgipfler thrive here, producing textured, age-worthy whites, while Pinot Noir and Sankt Laurent excel in the region’s sheltered vineyards. With a legacy of monastic winemaking and a focus on quality-driven revival, Thermenregion remains a stronghold of both tradition and innovation in Austrian viticulture.
