Grapes are sourced from vineyard sites in Halbturn and Gols, grown in sandy-limestone soils known locally as Seewinkelschotter, with vines averaging 15 years of age. All fruit is hand-harvested and sorted in the vineyard before destemming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFermentation starts spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, with approximately 10 days of skin contact. The wine is then moved into neutral acacia wood casks (1,000-2,000 liters) for two months to complete malolactic fermentation, followed by 8-10 months of aging in 4-6 year old barriques. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal added sulfites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJudith Beck has farmed the 13.5-hectare estate biodynamically since 2007, following the principles of Rudolf Steiner. She is a certified member of the Austrian biodynamic association respekt-BIODYN and the regional Pannobile growers group. Practices include cover crops between vine rows, proprietary compost, and herbal sprays made from yarrow, nettle, and horsetail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is deep ruby in color with a violet rim. It delivers dark cherry, blackberry, and cassis fruit with characteristic black pepper spice and integrated acidity. Tannins are fine and present, with a spicy, fruity finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Judith Beck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40582582829255,"sku":"BECKBLAU19C","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/judith-beck-blaufrankisch-austria-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1739476118","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/blaufrankisch-judith-beck-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
