ABOUT THIS WINE
Rózsa Petsovits is a unique, cross-border natural rosé produced by Weingut Weninger. The wine is named in honor of Franz Weninger's grandmother, who was born in Horitschon in 1921—the exact year the town transitioned from Hungary to Austria. To reflect this rich history, the grapes are sourced from estate vineyards spanning both Balf in Sopron, Hungary, and Horitschon in Mittelburgenland, Austria. This wine represents a bridge between cultures and terroirs, crafted by a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are selectively hand-harvested early in September to preserve high natural acidity. Vinification is carried out with minimal intervention: spontaneous fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts over 10 days in large, neutral wooden barrels. The wine undergoes 100% spontaneous malolactic fermentation and is aged for six months on its fine lees in large neutral oak casks. It is bottled unfiltered and unfined, with no sulfur added during fermentation and only a minimal dose at bottling.
