Vintage report

When vintners from the Mosel speak of an “envious autumn”, they describe the very different distribution of yields and quality within the growing region. It was the third year in a row that was marked by prolonged drought. Therefore, whether a winery was amongst the winners or losers this autumn, mainly depended on the amount of rain they received. One advantage of the dry season this year was that the Mosel winemakers had few problems with diseases in the vineyards. You could thus harvest perfectly healthy grapes with moderate acidity. The musts promise very typical Mosel wines with intense aromas and a fruity character.
