Vintage report

Weather extremes like frost in April caused a smaller amount of healthy grapes. These weather caprioles resulted in an early harvest, that needed to be done in a short time period of three weeks. Also, the late ripening varieties were picked rapidly after the early ones. The quality levels are good with high must weights. A vintage with balanced, fruity and a traditional bouquet.
 

Terroir
