Sopron (pronounced “sho-pron”), nestled along Lake Fertő (aka Neusiedlersee) near the Austrian border, is one of Hungary’s oldest wine regions and a crossroad of Hungarian and Austrian winemaking. Known for expressive reds like Kékfrankos and Zweigelt, with bright acidity and intense minerality, Sopron also offers crisp, cool-climate whites like Grüner Veltliner. With a unique microclimate influenced by Lake Fertő, Sopron wines bring a lively, fresh character to Hungary’s border region.
