Markus Iro
Markus Iro operates in Neusiedlersee, the easternmost wine region of Austria's Burgenland, where warm continental conditions and the moderating influence of the shallow lake create ideal ripening grounds for both red and white varieties. The winery's St. Laurent Herrschaftswald—a wine made from the region's signature dark-skinned grape—has earned recognition from Falstaff and Decanter. Alongside this flagship red, Markus Iro produces a Weissburgunder that reflects the crisp, mineral character typical of Austria's Pinot Blanc tradition, and a Special Blend combining Blauburgunder, Merlot, and St. Laurent. These wines demonstrate the winery's command of Neusiedlersee's terroir, where the interplay of lake effect and continental warmth yields wines of depth and balance.
