Früg is a natural wine project from Austria developed in collaboration between Jenny & François Selections and winemaker Josef Wurzinger. The Wurzinger winery lies in the southeastern part of Burgenland near the border with Hungary, and was established by the current owner's grandfather before Josef took it over from his parents in 1991. This wine is made from Zweigelt, a cross of St. Laurent and Blaufränkisch bred in 1922. It is produced through spontaneous fermentation in tanks, then aged on its fine lees, and bottled in a 1-liter format without filtration or fining.

Burgenland's culinary scene, influenced by its proximity to Hungary, often carries a spicy undertone, with goulash and sausages common. Regional dishes featuring fish, chicken, and pork with potatoes accompany the wines of the area. Neusiedlersee Zweigelt is traditionally paired with classic Pannonian fare such as beef strips in sauce.

Producer profile

Früg

Früg is a natural wine project from Austria developed in collaboration between Jenny & François Selections and winemaker Josef Wurzinger. The name Früg comes from a 1960s dance. The colorful label was designed by Jenny Lefcourt's brother in collaboration with her husband, and was suggested by artist and Austrian wine promoter Toni Silver.

The Wurzinger winery lies in the southeastern part of Burgenland near the border with Hungary, and was established by the current owner's grandfather. Josef took it over from his parents in 1991, gradually changing the vineyard management to organic before obtaining certification in 2014. He has explained that the gradual shift allowed the vines time to adapt while maintaining the quality and fruitiness of the wines.

The Zweigelt is sourced from several different certified organic sites with soils of mainly gravel, chalk, and sandy clay. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation in tanks and spends 10 weeks on its fine lees. It is bottled in a 1-liter format without filtration or fining, with a 25 ppm sulfur addition.

Wine region

Burgenland, Austria

Burgenland is the easternmost of Austria's federal states and is influenced by the hot, continental Pannonian climate. It sits on the Pannonian Plain, with the Hungarian border to the east and the eastern foothills of the Alps to the west. Lake Neusiedl, the largest steppe lake in Central Europe, stores summer heat and exerts a moderating influence, lengthening the ripening season into autumn.

Burgenland produces the most opulent red wines in Austria, along with complex whites and fine sweet wines, based mainly on the Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt grape varieties. To the east of Lake Neusiedl, Blauer Zweigelt prevails, producing powerful, juicy reds. Zweigelt, a cross of St. Laurent and Blaufränkisch bred in 1922, is the most widely grown red grape variety in Austria.
