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.

Harvesting our Zweigelt
Contrary to what one might have expected, the rain in recent days did only slight damage to our Zweigelt grapes – they are crunchy in texture and taste very sweet.
