Weingut Weninger Steiner Kékfrankos Bio 2016

Weingut Weninger Steiner Kékfrankos Bio 2016 is a remarkable red wine from Hungary. More precisely, it comes from the Sopron region, which is known for its high-quality wines. Sopron is located at the southern end of Lake Neusiedl and offers ideal conditions for viticulture. The soils are rich in gneiss and mica schist, giving the wines a special minerality. The landscape is characterized by gentle hills and a mild climate, which provides the grapes with optimal ripening conditions.

Characteristics of the Wine

Steiner Kékfrankos Bio 2016 is distinguished by its biodynamic cultivation. Winemaker Franz Weninger places great emphasis on sustainability and quality. The wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined, giving it the character of a natural wine. This means the wine may have sediment, streaks, or deposits from the yeast. These characteristics, however, contribute to the authenticity and uniqueness of the wine.

Taste and Aroma

On the nose, the wine reveals aromas of red berries, cedarwood, and a slight herbal spice. A touch of eucalyptus and animal notes rounds out the bouquet. On the palate, the wine presents itself with a lean, wiry body and firm, young tannins. Notes of sour cherry juice and fully ripe plum dominate the taste. With some aeration, the wine becomes softer, and the fruit more opulent. A true delight for any wine lover.
