Judith Beck, Chardonnay Bambule!

Judith Beck Chardonnay Bambule! is a wine that requires some time upon opening. It’s skin fermented for about 2 weeks, then pressed and aged for 15 months in old barrels on the whole lees. The aromas can be a little reductive at first, then slowly, they start to evolve and are changing completely to open up to an electrically fresh and vibrant  wine, charged with lemon skins, minerals, apricot and black tea. These aromas are well integrated on the palate which ends on fresh citrus notes. Wonderful wine. Bottled without filtration, no SO2 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.
