Franz Weninger Blaufränkisch 2020

Franz Weninger says this Blaufränkish gives off notes of sour cherries, black olives and lots of dark berries. Very fresh on the palate and encouraging to drink. Lots of fruit, racy acidity, very cool mouth full of spicy tannins.

Franz Weninger comes from a lineage which dates back to the early 19th century in the
town of Horitschon, Burgenland in southern Austria. Not long after the end of communist Hungary, Franz’s Father bought some parcels of vines in Balf, close to Sopron. Sopron is thought to be the best area for Kekfrankos (Blaufrankisch) in Hungary. The area lies in close proximity to lake Neusiedlersee which also borders Austria. The lake has a warming influence contrasted by cool winds from the nearby mountains. Since 2006, the Weninger family have been working biodynamically.
