Pinot Noir 2017

elegant Pinot Noir, which is able to develop and evolve, becoming more sophisticated and harmonious over the years. The grapes used to make it are grown in three different biodynamic vineyards of the Parndorf Plain, also called the Parndorf Heath, in the northern part of Burgenland. Good drainage of the gravel soils of the plain helps prevent plant rot. The average age of the vines is 20 years. Harvested by hand and partially chopped, 20% of the bunches go whole vinification. Wort undergoes spontaneous fermentation in oak barrels. To get an elegant Pinot Noir, a rather short period of maceration is applied (maximum 6-8 days). Aging in old oak barrels lasts 12 months. Before bottling, the wine is not filtered, so over time, natural sediment may precipitate at the bottom of the bottle. Judit Beck Pinot Noir is available in limited quantities not exceeding 3,000 bottles.
