Judith Beck Muskat (Muscat) Bambule (Skin Contact White Wine) 2021

Judith Beck Muskat Bambule, biodynamic wine, skin contact, low sulphites, spicy, full, grapey and savoury wine of great character. The grapes used for this wine are handpicked in a very old Muskat Ottonel vineyard. The must stays on the skins for 10 to 12 days to extract a maximum of aroma. Muskat Ottonel is naturally low in acidity and like the Neuburger benefits from the tannin structure gained from skin contact. The bouquet reminds you of the freshly-picked grapes, the palate is spicy and intense with a low alcohol level. A versatile and delicious orange wine for cheeses, savoury and sweet dishes.

Winery Judith Beck is a 15 hectare estate in Gols in Austria's Burgenland which has been farming biodynamically since 2007, aiming to respect the environment and produce the best quality grapes, using native Austrian varieties.

Judith Beck herself studied abroad at places like Cos d'Estournel in Bordeaux and Errazuriz in Chile but returned home to take over from her father and move the winery in the direction of natural winemaking. They encourage the formation of humus as a basis of healthy soils, using their own natural composts and cultivating grass between the rows. Herbal remedies are also used and the vines are maintained under the rhythms of the moon. In order to produce authentic wines, they also avoid inoculated yeasts of any kind, and minimise sulphur, fining or filtration, with her Bambule! range epitomising this philosophy. These are sentiments and ideas we like at Buon Vino and the wines are really delicious, fresh and also great value for money, from an up and coming area that is producing some really excellent produce.
