Judith Beck, Ink

Red berried, fresh and lively, this red will be equally perfect with Turkey leftovers as with weeknight fare such as pasta, pizza and tacos. If you’ve never tasted a modern Austrian red then this is the perfect starting point, you couldn’t get an easier to drink red than Beck INK.

Ink is a fresh, juicy, vibrant and delicious blend of 80% Zweigelt and 20% St. Laurent. Judith chooses the most forward and expressive batches from the Zweigelt and St. Laurent harvest for the INK. Beck picks all of the fruit by hand and sorts the grapes in the vineyard and at the winery. Fermented with wild yeasts, and very little or no sulphites ever added.
WEINGUT JUDITH BECK, GOLS, Burgenland Biodynamic, Natural

Judith Beck’s winery is run as a family business. Since 1976 the area under vine increased from 5 to 15 ha. Most of the vineyards are situated at the Wagram of the Parndorfer Plate, the most important site of the region. And from 2007 Judith has produced wines in accordance with biodynamic principles. The winery is housed in an impressive airy new building in the middle of the vineyards from Gols. Now the emphasis is on refining the style whilst capturing the potential of the grapes. Judith is passionate about the traditional red wine varieties: Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent. Judith is an impressively calm, thoughtful person and that sense of relaxation seems to transmit itself into her wines, which possess a lightness of touch not always apparent in this region.
