The border between Austria and Hungary looks wrong. It zigs and zags hither and to, an artificial line that once caused a fair amount of strife. For forty-odd years this little patch of sunny farmland around the town of Sopron was a loose seam in the Iron Curtain, and people on both sides preserved the memory of a time when there was no border at all. The Weninger family have been among the winemakers of Burgenland or Sopron rebuilding their ancient family properties that once straddled the border, and this Europaschian wine, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir from Hungary and Blaufrankisch and Zweigelt from Austria, is one happy result. A ‘Ponzichter’ was a person who grew beans between their grape vines in both Hungary and Austria, in a time when most vineyards were polycultural farms. T
