Franz Weninger

The Weninger family has been cultivating vineyards in the Spern Steiner and Frettner vineyard sites in Balf since 1997; from 2002 onwards, Franz Reinhard Weninger took over the management there. The estate is said to comprise around 24 hectares of vines, with a focus on Kékfrankos. Conversion to organic farming began in 2006. In the vineyard, the estate works biodynamically; in the cellar, it uses spontaneous, minimally interventionist methods, without fining or filtration.
