Harvest Report 2015
Growing Season: Mild temperatures during winter and spring were followed by an extremely hot and dry summer leading to an early ripening process and harvest kick-off on October 1st.
Rainfall in September could not harm the thick-skinned grapes and the few rot affected berries were removed easily. Thanks to the cool and dry weather perfectly healthy and ripe grapes were picked. We were very happy about the Doctor Beerenauslese at 152° Oechsle!
