Judith Beck’s estate is located in the town of Gols in Burgenland, Austria. The region has a warm climate and is one of the major wine producing region of the country.

The estate was founded in the 1970’s by her parents and Judith assumed full control of the winery in 2004 after having made her first vintage in 2001. She graduated from the Klosterneuburg Viticulture College and had an international experience when she worked in renowned wineries in France, Italy, and Chile.

Judith Beck owns 13.50 hectares of vines in the town with a wide variety of grapes: Blauer Portugieser, Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch, Sankt Laurent, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Welschriesling, Pinot Blanc, and Chardonnay. She likes to intervene as little as possible during the winemaking process to ensure that all of the wines reflect the varieties and the vintage. She has also converted to biodynamic wine making in 2007 and she makes sure nothing but minimal amounts of SO2 are added.
