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.

The Zweigelt Harvest
Today we are picking Zweigelt in the vineyard Ried Neusatz. There are
already many berries that have shrivelled, though remaining in a healthy
condition - the hallmark of a great vintage.
Our weather in recent weeks was simply perfect.
