All grapes from our own vineyards are picked by hand. This implies rigorous selection directly on the vine - only fully ripe, unscathed fruit ends up in the cellar. By the way: we have no irrigation systems in our vineyards. It is true that in extremely dry years it may happen that we forgo one or another harvest from young vineyards. On the other hand, the vines will root substantially more deeply, thus releasing extra aromas and flavors as well as power into the grapes.

Blaufränkisch Auslese 1975
this Auslese comes from the great 1975 vintage as well: no perceptible residual sugar; finely matured, but without so much presence on the palate as the same year's Steinzeiler.
