When in Austria, a trip to taste the juice of Burgenland is a must. I was going to try to compile all of the wineries I visited into one post but that just wouldn\u2019t do it any justice. So I\u2019ve decided to write about all of the wonderful winemakers I was privileged to visit and taste with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The first winemaker<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> I met with on my trip to Burgenland was Judith Beck<\/a> who was actually on her way to holiday with her kids before coming back for an uncharacteristically early harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judith reminded me a bit of myself with her work life and kid life intertwined, but definitely rocking it all, kicking ass, and taking names. A member of the Pannobile Wine Group, Weingut Beck was established in 1976 and since 2007 has been run in accordance with biodynamic principles.<\/span>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span> The Pannobile Wine Group is a nine-member growers\u2019 association located in Burgenland in the village of Gols whose purpose is to collaboratively set standards of excellence for the region. Even before converting to biodynamic farming, Judith\u2019s parents practiced sustainable viticulture from the very beginning. Prior to taking over from her parents in 2004, Judith worked at wineries in Bordeaux, Piedmont, and Chile. She made her first vintage in 2001 before assuming full control of the winery three years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the action takes places in a modern winery complete with aging cellar in the town of Gols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
