This meant that the dry and hot vegetation period was mastered without any problems and without stress for the vines. As a result, 2022 produced perfectly healthy and ripe grapes – the basic requirements for crystal-clear characteristics of the grape variety, and a distinctive characteristics of each vineyard site, and therefore guarantee for great vintage.
