Vintage report

The vintage 2022 was highly influenced by a heat period starting in May and ending in August / September. During that time, there was little rainfall and a lot of tropical nights. Just before harvest, rain began to fall and even though the conditions were quite tough, our team in the vineyards managed to harvest healthy and ripe grapes. The resulting wines from vintage 2022 are well balanced ones with moderate acidity. (Juliusspital)

"Harvest kicked off in early September. The Silvaner and Pinot grapes from VDP.ERSTE LAGE® and VDP.GROSSE LAGE® sites were brought in at record pace to preserve the perfect concentration and freshness in the cellar before the rains set in.
