Königshofer
Königshofer operates in the Neusiedlersee region of Burgenland, Austria's easternmost wine territory. The winery focuses on the dark-skinned varieties that define this continental climate: Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, and Sankt Laurent. These grapes thrive in the warm, dry conditions around Europe's largest steppe lake, developing the structure and depth characteristic of the region. Königshofer's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions: a Blaufränkisch Reserve, the multi-varietal Generationen—a blend of Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch, and Sankt Laurent—and a single-varietal Sankt Laurent. Each has been rated by Falstaff, the influential Austrian wine publication. The winery's work reflects the Neusiedlersee's reputation for producing austere, mineral-driven reds with firm tannins and aging potential.
