Jahrgangsbericht

The year 2016 started with cold and rainy weather conditions. On the one hand it caused downy mildew, on the other hand the rain supported a fast growing of the vines. Hot temperatures in July and August helped the vines to develop well. Harvest started on the 12th of September. Late summer days compared with cold nights in autumn, caused a good ripening of the grapes.
