The 2023 Judith Beck "Beck Ink" is a vibrant, biodynamic red from the Gols region of Burgenland, Austria. Known as a "thirst-quencher" (or Süffig in German), this wine is designed to be fresh, approachable, and pulse with the energy of the Pannobile area’s sandy and gravelly soils
Tasting Note: Red berried, fresh and lively, this red will be equally perfect with Turkey leftovers as with weeknight fare such as pasta, pizza and tacos. Fresh, juicy, vibrant. Fermented with wild yeasts, and very little or no sulphites ever added.

Sourced from limited-production vineyards of 90 to 100-year-old vines, El Recio is the "bridge" wine of the estate. It combines the raw power of the Toro terroir with the refinement of French oak. It is characterized by its intense concentration and a "polite" power that makes it more elegant than the typical high-alcohol wines of this region.
Tasting Note: Intense ruby red in the glass. Powerful, multi-layered aroma, with notes of chocolate, ripe black fruits, and vanilla. The palate is round, silky and very full-bodied. Dark fruit, cassis, blackberry, and cocoa linger in the strong, complex finish.
