March and April were<br />unseasonably cold months and for this reason only at the end of April we did start to see<br />the beginnings of budding. The cooler temperature persisted into May and therefore<br />blooming officially started only the second half of June which is typically 2 weeks later<br />than usual. June and July were hotter and more humid than the average which caused big<br />challenges in the vineyards. Fortunately, at the end of summer we had exceptional weather<br />- dry and hot and also during the whole month of Seprember we had perfect conditions.<br />Harvest started 10 days later than usual on September 26th. Cool nights and hot days<br />continued and made for uniformed, healthy grapes with average alcohol levels and higher<br />than average acidic levels.<br />

Already on April 10, on the sunny sites<br />around the monastery, we saw the first shoots. Thanks to mild spring weather, there were<br />no problems with frost. During the summer the conditions were good as well, with normal<br />temperatures and average rainfall. There were no extreme weather event and so harvest<br />started about 10 days early on September 14th. Unfortunately, the autumn was a little bit<br />rainy and therefore the diurnal temperature shift was less extreme than usual. In order to<br />get healthy grapes, the harvest dates were brought forward and so harvest was already<br />completed by mid-October.<br />The wines of the 2020 vintage are delicate, fresh and fruity with moderate alcohol and an<br />appealing acidity. Similar to the 2019 vintage.<br />

Vintage: the weather conditions make the 2019 viticultural year a challenge for our winegrowers. A relatively mild winter and early spring were followed by a wet and cool<br />April and May. After flowering, which did not occur until June, the weather situation turned around and it became hot and dry. Late summer delayed the ripening of the<br />grapes with some rainfall and below-average temperatures. Harvesting of the healthy grapes began in early September and continued until the end of October.<br />Tasting notes: bright yellow, fruity aroma of ripe peach, mango and coconut milk, full mouthfeel with lots of ripe fruit on the palate, juicy finish.<br /><br />Recommendation: try it as an aperitif, with light starters, summer salads, asparagus dishes, grilled fish or with mild sliced and fresh cheeses!<br /><br />Vinification: Whole cluster pressing of ripe and above all perfectly healthy grapes, 18-hour maceration, natural must clarification, slow fermentation at a controlled<br />temperature of 18 °C (approx. 50% spontaneous fermentation in large wooden barrels), 5-month ageing on the fine lees, filtration and bottling in March.<br /><br />Vineyard:Steep south/south-western slope at 700 m above sea level with sandy-loamy porphyry weathered soil.<br /><br />Grape variety: Kerner<br />Age of the vines: 10 - 30 years<br />Drinking temperature: 10 - 12 °C<br />Yield: 65 hl/ha<br />Method of cultivation: wire frame + pergola<br />Alcohol: 14,0 %<br />Residual sugar: 4,0 g/l<br />Acidity: 6,4 g/l<br />Contains sulphites<br />
