Description

Judith Beck Traminer 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Gewurztraminer from the Gols commune of Burgenland, Austria. Gols is part of the larger Burgenland region in easternmost Austria, which enjoys a very warm climate defined by the Pannonian Plain to the east and the Lake. The Traminer grapes used for making wine are grown on loamy granite soils of a tiny biodynamic site with an area of 0.25 hectares. The average age of the vines is 18 years

Taste Profile: Golden amber in color, with an amazingly expressive Traminer bouquet of roses, nutmeg, & very ripe fruit. Smooth & refreshing on the palate, with nice acidity, pithy tannins & good length

Winemaking Process: Traminer grapes are handpicked, destemmed and macerated with skins for 8-10 days, then pressed and transported to old barriques after the fermentation finishes to rest for 6-8 months. Unfiltered, unfined, minimal sulphur added

Lush & Tropical Whites

Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.

Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
