The history

At the time Emperor Franz Josef was ruling, there was a young Hussar who distinguished himself through bravery and special talents, and he was soon accepted into the Guard’s regiment. He became famous for his many heroic acts, but one day in 1849, during the Hungarian Revolution, he became severely wounded in battle.

How great was the surprise when it was discovered that this brave Hussar was actually a “she”! After some time, she was promoted to First Lieutenant and became known as “Maria Lebstueck” in the history books. Regardless whether one thinks of Jeanne d’Arc, the maiden of New Orleans, or of Maria Lebstueck, the red Lady Hussar, - history has shown that women have always stood their man and were able to take up the role of important leaders.

Now, this emancipation is reflected in the “Rote Husarin”, an emancipated, full-bodied yet mild, dark red wine from sunny Burgenland, semi-dry with low alcohol content.

“Die Rote Husarin” - A scintillating delight invoking pleasure and health!
