Due to the warm<br />temperatures, bud break was very early and took place around April 20th. The summer<br />was characterized by warm and dry weather, fortunately without any extreme weather<br />events. The harvest began on September 7th, twenty days earlier than last year. During<br />harvest the weather was consistently good however, due to the earlier start date, it was<br />warmer than average. The harvest progressed very quickly and was already complete 20<br />days later. Due to the dry summer the grapes were very healthy with a fairly higher sugar<br />content.<br />2022 is again an excellent vintage for white wines. The very high-quality grapes lead to fullbodied<br />and structured wines. 2022 was also perfect for our red wines. They show<br />fruitiness, full-body structure with fine tannins.<br />
