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