Vintage report

We started to harvest earlier ripening grapes and basis wine for our sekts on the 1st of September. The weather changed drastically in the second week of September, the rain lacking in the previous six months finally arrived and temperatures dropped. Despite the worsened conditions, we found sufficient opportunity to harvest in fine weather. Thanks to the stability and health of our vines the weather was not problematic and the grapes had sufficient time to fully ripen. Following a bumper harvest, we´re looking forward a fine vintage. Our younger wines offer a finely defined fruit aroma and moderate alcohol content. But also, a deep and complex body. Above all the playful elegance of our wines excites us this year.
