We have run out of stock for this item.

The region around Lake Neusiedl is particularly suited to cultivate Burgundian varieties and provides optimum conditions for Chardonnay. Manual harvest, matured for 5 months on its lees, the wine has developed a tasty richness without losing any of its focus and brightness. Light golden yellow, pronounced fruit, ripe peach and quince on the nose, full-bodied on the palate, creamy fruit, good acidity, long finish. A really fine example of Chardonnay.


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. Judith took over in 2004 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. 

As mentioned, the focus is on the vine growing. Biodynamics is an art of healing which takes advantage of the holistic curativeness of nature. It aims at strengthening the natural resistance of the plant. Pest and disease control are mainly affected in a prophylactic manner. “We encourage the formation of humus, as a basis of healthy soils, by regularly applying cattle manure which we prepare ourselves and by cultivating grass between the rows. Herbal teas (such as stinging nettle, chamomile, field horsetail ...) and biodynamic field sprays such as horn manure and horn silica are used under the consideration of moon rhythms; their purpose being to strengthen resistance and further the physiological ripeness of grapes.”
