Franz Weninger’s family has farmed land in Horitschon, Central Burgenland, for close to two centuries, and on both sides of the border of Austria and Hungary since 1992. A very thoughtful winemaker, Franz writes extensively on his website about every aspect of the winegrowing and winemaking process. He follows biodynamic principles in the vineyard and the winery, with no crop-thinning, no batonnage, and no added sulfites. His aim is to support the growth of healthy vines that naturally produce a lower yield, resulting in a deeper concentration of flavor accompanied by the taste of the natural fermentation process the juice undergoes.
Sour cherry, black olives, and many dark berries. Very fresh and refreshing on the palate. Lots of fruit, lively acidity, a very cool mouthfeel full of spicy tannins.
