J.B. Becker Eltviller Rheinberg Spatburgunder Spatlese Trocken 2018
The winery is currently managed by third generation grower/winemaker, Hans-Joseph Becker. Hajo is a traditionalist versus many colleagues in the Rheingau region, and has no successor at the moment
His vineyard area totals 13 hectares, all in the Walkenberg area. (Walkenberg is a classified VDP.GROSSE LAGE® site) 75% is planted with Riesling and 25% Pinot Noir and is gradually increasing year on year.
Sticking to his guns methodologically and stylistically kept Hans-Josef Becker radical, even after the Rheingau eventually converted en masse to Riesling trocken. Becker persisted in the traditional practice of only bottling his young Rieslings immediately ahead of the next harvest, and in many instances he gave them even longer in cask. Fermentations here take place largely in pressure tanks, after which the young wines are racked into traditional Rheingau Stückfässer, where they remain on their fine lees until bottling. Viticulturally, too, Becker resisted both the trends that prevailed in his youth and subsequent fashions. That meant preserving old vines and, when replanting was unavoidable, spurning clones in deference to massal selections. It meant farming organically, though he never advertised it, at a time when the practice was almost unheard of among German winegrowers
In this way they achieve a fascinating harmony and even after decades they still look fresh and convincingly mature with great fruit. They remain highly sought after by world renown sommeliers and wine critics throughout the world. Becker’s wine is unlike any other producers in Rheingau. Annual bottle production of 45,000.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Noir from the Rheingau, Germany
Taste Profile: The wine has a beautiful ruby color with aromas of red fruits, black cherries, and spices. On the palate, it is well-structured, with a medium body, and a long, dry finish.
Winemaking Process: The grapes for this wine are hand-harvested and sorted before undergoing a traditional vinification process in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 12 months, which gives it a subtle hint of vanilla and a beautiful texture.

The wines have an in-your-face, love-it-or-hate-it vibe. Becker is a strong advocate of wild-yeast fermentations and winemaking traditions. Despite not joining the VDP, his wines have the reputation and recognition worthy of any Grand Cru winery
