the harvest-diary

12. Oktober
After the heavy rainfall caused the Riesling grapes to burst open, the noble rot, botrytis, was able to take hold on many of them, allowing the sugar levels of these grapes from the Himmelreich vineyard to shine in brilliance once again this year.

28. September
A very special harvest day in the Alte Pazelle-vineyard, on the Schauberg. The oldest garden, with wonderfully loose, healthy grapes. Mostly Grüner Veltliner, with a few Riesling, Burgundy and Neuburger vines - in short, one of a kind.

September 21st
After the rain, we start again with full vigor - with Grüner Veltliner from the Ried Schauberg. The soil and grapes have dried out quickly thanks to the warm temperatures.

September 15th
The heavy storms do not stop at the Traisental. Within 5 days, more rain falls than in many other years. Time to gather strength and prepare for the main harvest.

September 10th
The first reserves were brought to safety before the heavy rain. Wonderfully ripe Chardonnay grapes were harvested.

September 3rd
The first Grüner Veltliner grapes arrive in the cellar. In very hot temperatures for the beginning of September, very healthy grapes were harvested by hand, of course.

August 27th
