Judith Beck's Weissburgunder comes from approximately 2 hectares of certified biodynamic and organic vines on gravel soils (locally called Seewinkelschotter) around the village of Gols in Austria's Neusiedlersee. The vines average around 25 years of age, with parcels split between lower ground near Lake Neusiedl and elevated sites above the town. Pinot Blanc — called Weissburgunder in Austria — ripens mid-harvest, after St. Laurent but before Zweigelt.
Grapes are hand-picked and whole-cluster pressed. Fermentation begins spontaneously with native yeasts in 1,000-liter acacia casks and neutral barriques. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations proceed in wood. The wine then rests on its full lees for six months without stirring, which Beck has said preserves freshness. It is assembled in tank and bottled with a minimal addition of SO2 (20mg/L). The wine is vegan.
In the glass, pale gold with green highlights. The nose leads with white peach, ripe pear, and lemon, with a faint almond note. The palate is medium-bodied with soft, creamy texture from lees contact, balanced acidity, and a clean mineral finish. Whites from this part of Burgenland can run rich and high in alcohol; Beck's version is leaner and more restrained than the regional norm at around 12% ABV.
Beck has been farming biodynamically since 2007 and holds certification from respekt-BIODYN. The estate is also a member of the Pannobile growers' association in Gols, which sets collaborative quality standards for the region.
