We can't get enough of delicious rosés that straddle the line between refreshing and complex, this is very much one of those! Incredibly pretty on the nose, with vibrant dried petals, bright summer berry fruits, and a dusting of green spice, this is beautifully ethereal and offers more to the wine lover than just a simple smashable bottle of pink. Complexity for the masses.

Made in honour of Franz's grandmother, this is a wine made without borders, with Syrah from Hungary and Zweigelt and Pinot Noir from Austria. 


About Franz Weninger

The story of Franz Weninger's wines is above all, the story of Austria and Hungary's shared history (and border). Working between both countries, Franz's family history stretches back to when the Austro-Hungarian empire was a single nation.

His grandmother Rózsa Petsovits (the namesake for his delicious rosé) was born in Horitschon, Hungary a year before the town became part of Austria instead. Meanwhile, the nearby town of Sopron remained under Hungarian rule, and just like that a core part of the B became t divided.

'Before the existence of a border between Austria and Hungary, Sopron was considered to be the heart of the historic winemaking region. It is thought to be the likely birthplace of Blaukfränkisch, locally known as Kékfrankos.' 

Today Franz makes wines on both sides of the border, offering a uniquely delicious take on the terroir here. These are wines that celebrate the r shared winemaking history, bringing together varieties and vineyards that were once part of the same nation.
