Judith Beck 'Beck Ink' 2023

These two grape varieties are Austrian favourites and perfrom particularly well in this region of country. Dark ruby in colour, and quite opaque it has something of a dense appearance.The body, however, is medium weight and silky smooth with a refreshing hint of minerality. The soft and dark juicy fruit flavours are well balanced by the subtle earthy and spicy notes making an altogther very characterful and very drinkable wine.

While it's more a mellow number than a big blockbuster rich gamey stews and casseroles are just the thing it goes well with and really bring out the best in it.

Weingut Judith Beck is in the Burgenland village of Gols, near Lake Neusiedl - an ideal spot for viticulture. When Judith Beck took over the family estate in 2004, she shifted to organic, then biodynamic practices, driven by her passion for sustainable agriculture and minimal intervention winemaking. Her wines beautifully reflect this approach, capturing the essence of the land and the seasons. It’s no surprise she's become a leading figure in Austria's biodynamic wine circles. Her commitment to quality and sustainability shines through in all her wines.
