The 2023 Weninger Franz Plays With Szurke & Feher MMXVIII represents the best of Weninger Franz's winemaking. This exceptional wine is crafted in the heart of Burgenland, Austria, benefitng from the local terroir. Made with a blend featuring Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, it delivers a complex and balanced experience.
"Franz Weninger farms certified biodynamic vineyards on both sides of the Burgenland border, in Austria and Hungary. Building on his father's organic work in Hungary during the 1980s, Franz sees organic farming as just the beginning with biodynamics as the actual best practice. Since returning to the family winery in 1999, he has deepened their commitment to soil health and tradition, replanting vineyards with native varieties while preserving older plantings of international grapes. This skin-contact co-ferment of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir reflects that philosophy. With a hue between orange and pale pink, the wine opens up with aromas of plum, violet, and grapefruit and lead to slightly effervescent flavors of lychee, pomegranate, and pink grapefruit with bright acidity, easy tannins, and a savory finish. Pairs beautifully with chicken tajine, zucchini noodle casserole, or fruit salad trifle."
