About the winery
Weninger Pincészet was founded in 1997 in Balf, near Lake Fertő, where gneiss and mica schist soils provide excellent conditions for viticulture. Under the leadership of Franz Reinhard Weninger, the winery specializes in organic and biodynamic cultivation with a focus on terroir and natural winemaking methods.
The estate has received international recognition since the 2000s for its outstanding Kékfrankos, Furmint, and other regional varieties. Weninger Pincészet holds biodynamic certification and employs spontaneous fermentation, no cultured yeasts, and avoids filtration in its wine production.
