Weather Conditions

Spring flowering came early, followed by a warm June and hot July. But a cold, wet August slowed ripening and kept acidity high. All that said, the generally warm weather - especially in the northerly regions of Nahe, Rheingau and the Mosel -led to earlier and shorter harvest times, punctuated with rainfall. Volumes were down.
