Vintage report

In Germany´s second largest wine region, 2017 will deliver good wine but less of it. After a wet July, the weather improved. At harvest, which began early in August, the weather brought warm days and cool nights, which were perfect for a good aroma profile. In September it turned cooler towards the end of harvest, while the rain was not excessive. The grapes were thus able to accumulate a lot of sugar and registered good acidity levels. The 2017 vintage in the Pfalz promises characterful and expressive wines with a lovely interplay of aromas.
