Judith Beck Traminer from Burgenland, Austria — amazingly expressive with a Gewürztraminer bouquet of roses, nutmeg, and very ripe fruit on the nose, smooth and fresh on the palate with nice acidity, pithy tannins, and good length, an orange-wine style from one of Austria's most aromatic white varieties.
Tasting Notes
Amazingly expressive on the nose — a Gewürztraminer bouquet of roses, nutmeg, and very ripe fruit. Smooth and fresh on the palate with nice acidity, pithy tannins, and good length. Made with 8 to 10 days of skin maceration and 6 to 8 months in old barriques — a textured, orange-wine style of the aromatic Traminer variety that shows what biodynamic Burgenland can do with this grape.
