Selected good!
Early selective harvest brought best qualities
This year we had to harvest the grapes in a selective hand harvest from the very first day. Never before has our experienced team started so early, as early as mid-September, with the early varieties Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay. Never before has the harvest been finished so early. Due to the very high temperatures, the Riesling grapes ripened quickly. Targeted sorting reduced the yield, but at the same time healthy grapes with high qualities could be harvested. Strong Kabinett Rieslings from the Trabener Würzgarten, a Spätlese fruit-sweet from the Enkircher Steffensberg and once again a noble sweet Auslese from the Zeppwingert are among the pleasing results. With the 2023 vintage, we are also producing for the first time a Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett trocken and a Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Auslese as well as a Chardonnay from the Trabener Würzgarten.
