Rotburger & St. Laurent, Burgenland, Austria

When asked to describe her philosophy on winemaking, “I love playing with a fine blade,” says natural wine poet Judith Beck. Located in the natural wine capital of Austria - Burgenland - she inherited her winery from her father after having trained in France and Chile. True to form, Ink is the most refreshing Zweigelt & St Laurent blend that pours like a silky wine-hued river. It would be the perfect wine to drink if you were Virginia Woolf writing something brooding and brilliant with an old-timey fountain pen— by candlelight, of course. Velvety, plush, and royal purple. Sprinkle of ginger snap baking spice with the freshest dark fruit flavours, like getting blackberry seeds stuck in your teeth but you’re grinning anyway.
