Traminer Skin Contact Beck 2020

Traminer Skin Contact Beck 2020, Organic orange wine, Austria, 100% Gewurztraminer, new wine in the fantastic range of great value natural wines from Judith Beck. The new Traminer maceration is naturally handpicked, destemmed and then undergoes 8-10 days of skin maceration and fermentation. It is then pressed and after the fermentation finishes, is transported to old Barriques where is rests for for 6-8 months. A very expressive wine, the skin gives pith, tannins and spices to add to the aromatic profile of the Traminer grape. Like all beck wines, it has good definition and if there was ever a wine for curries and spicy foods, this is it!

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.
