Weninger 2006 Dürrau Cuvée Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)
A highly perfumed wine from old vines, aged for 24 months in wood. The tannins are dusty, with wood very present but not overwhelming the fruit. It is rich and structured, but also sophisticated and elegant, with final ripe black fruits showing well.

Weninger 2009 Alte Reben Blaufränkisch (Mittelburgenland)
- Editors' Choice
- $40
A wood-aged wine, this is fully ripe and has aging potential. From old vines, the wine has a dense texture, concentrated black fruits and tannins that combine in a dark, brooding structure. This is a wine for long-term aging; the new wood and forward fruits both promise that. Keep for six years.

Weninger 2004 Dürrau Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)
- Cellar Selection
- $129
Made from a single vineyard, this is Franz Weninger’s flagship wine. Pure Blaufränkisch, it shows all the exotic flavors of the grape—mineral, spices, black cherries—packaged with dark tannins and smoky, toasty wood. To finish, there is cocoa along with a touch of sweet citrus. Great aging potential.
