Franz Weninger, Stein Furmint 2021

Franz Weninger’s Stein Furmint 2021 is a striking expression of Furmint from Burgenland, showing the grape’s naturally vivid acidity and mineral precision in a refined, dry style. Crafted by one of Austria’s most respected family producers, it combines energy, texture, and a strong sense of place.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass, it is typically marked by a bright, clean appearance that hints at freshness and tension. The nose leans toward citrus, green apple, white peach, and subtle herbal and stony notes, while the palate is precise and lively with a firm mineral backbone and a long, saline finish. The 2021 vintage should offer excellent balance between freshness and concentration, making it attractive now while also giving it the structure to develop further complexity over the next few years. With age, Furmint often gains deeper honeyed, nutty, and waxy nuances while retaining its characteristic acidity.

Production
Sourced from the Stein site in Burgenland, this wine reflects a terroir that can lend notable mineral drive and freshness to Furmint. Franz Weninger is known for working with a thoughtful, low-intervention approach, emphasizing healthy fruit, careful harvesting, and gentle vinification to preserve the grape’s natural purity and site expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled or pan-fried fish, shellfish, sushi, poultry with herbs, and creamy vegetable dishes. Serve it well chilled, around 8–10°C, and consider brief decanting if you want to open up its aromatics and texture, though it can also be enjoyed straight from the bottle.

Producer
Franz Weninger is a highly regarded Austrian producer with deep roots in Burgenland and a strong reputation for terroir-driven wines. The estate is respected for its commitment to organic and biodynamic principles, as well as for producing wines that consistently express balance, clarity, and regional character.
