Jean Yves-Peron 'Petit Robe' Blanc 2023
Jacquere
Biodynamic, No preservatives, and Unfined/Unfiltered
Field blend of many different grape varieties including Grüner Veltliner, Scheurebe, Weissburgunder, Neuburger, Welschriesling and many more. Handpicked, 3-4 days of maceration, then pressed and naturally fermented in old barrels, ageing about 6 months on the lees. The vineyard where the grapes come from is officially named 'Fürstliches Prädium' but people in Gols have been calling it 'Korea“ since the 1950s.
The Judith Beck winery is a 15 hectare estate in Gols in Austria’s Burgenland. They have been farming biodynamically since 2007.
They use their own natural composts and cultivate grass between the rows. Herbal remedies are also used and the vines are maintained following the rhythms of the moon and biodynamic calender. They don’t use any inoculated yeasts of any kind, they minimise sulphur, fining and filtration. The Bambule range which is all zero sulphur and certified biodynamic, epitomises this philosophy.
