Judith Beck Ink is a blend of native Austrian varieties that makes you want more with every sip. Juicy organic Austrian red wine with a fresh lightness that suits the summer heat beautifully. Dark ruby colour with a dense appearance. The nose is a lively blast of dark fruits, sour cherry, cinnamon and clove sweet spices. The medium-bodied palate is light and refreshing with soft tannins, silky smooth mouthfeel and a refreshing hint of minerality. Hits the palate like a soft and juicy mouthful of dark summer berries and cherries, with subtle earthy and elegant spicy notes. Juicy and easygoing, it's a wine for every occasion.
80% Zweigelt and 20% St. Laurent. Judith Beck winery is near lake Neusiedlersee, the warmest region of Austria for wine production. The lake acts as a natural storage heater, storing the warmth of the sunshine during the day and releasing it through the night. The vineyards have a loam, clay and limestone soil composition.
