Judith Beck Blaufränkisch Alte Lagen Organic 2012, crafted in Austria’s Burgenland, is a pure Blaufränkisch from old vines in the estate’s limestone and loess terroir. The bouquet unveils blackberry, dark cherry, and cassis, with notes of black pepper, graphite, and subtle oak, accented by hints of minerality. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with firm tannins and vibrant acidity balancing the concentrated fruit. Biodynamic practices and aging in large oak casks deliver a refined, lingering finish with excellent aging potential. Perfect for pairing with roasted beef, game, or aged cheeses, this wine reflects Beck’s commitment to organic winemaking, offering a sophisticated experience for enthusiasts seeking a robust Austrian red. Its depth and complexity make it a standout from the 2012 vintage, embodying Burgenland’s unique terroir and showcasing the potential of Blaufränkisch from old vines.
