JUDITH BECK
„What I love most about my job is its versatility. There is a vineyard part and a cellar part, but also a part where you go to wine fairs and stumble upon amazing people from all over the world.“
Since 2007, Judith Beck and her partner Uli Leither have been producing natural and authentic wines that come from the biodynamic vineyards around the town of Golsa, Burgenland. She studied oenology at the Austrian Klosterneuburg University and worked in renowned wineries in Austria, Italy, and Chile, before returning home to take over the family winery. Her passion is to present traditional Austrian varieties, such as Blaufränkisch and Laurel, to the world. Her calm and open spirit radiates through her fresh, elegant wines, which perfectly represent the character of the Burgenland terroir. She is also a member of the Pannobile group.

Pannobile
Pannobile is a winegrowing association whose members are fellow winegrowers in the area around the city of Gols, Burgenland. The main subject of discussion and the common belief of all members is dedicated work in the vineyard, differentiation of wine quality by terroir characteristics, and a return to indigenous varieties.
The association was founded by Paul Achs, Matthias Beck, Hans Gsellmann, Gernot Heinrich, Matthias Leitner, Hans Nittnaus, and Helmuth Renner in 1994. Gerhard Pittnauer joined in 1998, and Claus Preisinger in 2004.
