Setz are the earliest to ripen.
Despite this we picked the Ried Point first out of respect for the
threatening rain, since the soils there are more moisture-retentive, and
there is a danger of the vines pumping too much water into the grapes.
Setz, with its light fossil-rich soil of limestone and slate is very quick
to despatch water into the deeper layers of the ground, so that the berries
remain unaffected.
They are fully ripe and sweet, with crisp skins. Many are shrivelled-up, but
in a healthy condition.
The sugar-gradation is extremely high, reinforcing our estimate of the
vintage's superior quality.
