Monday was day we were able to harvest our Sauvignon Blanc grapes which showed an intensive flavour of gooseberry and touch of black current. We believe these grapes will be very worthy follower of the 2011 Sauvignon Blanc.

In the afternoon we continued with Pinot Gris, which were well sheltered on higher elevated piece of ground. These vines are growing on loamy soils so our grapes gain a minerality that is unique.

This year all our harvest photos are being taken by our team member Verena, seen above on the fare right.

On Tuesday the Photographer Michael Wissing visited our Winery. He captured the best portraits of our Family and our Wines, which will be published in the next Bookazine named ‘baden’.

The first batch of Cabernet Dorsa were ripe, to be collected.

This week we brought in our Pinot Blanc.

as well as our Pinot noir growing on loß soil.

Thankfully the Botrytis infected berries are very few and fare between, so we don’t need to panic but can continue harvesting our grapes at a steady rate.

This Tuesday we are having a film team arriving to do a take for the series Weinwunder Deutschland starring Stuart Piggott. The highlight for our Winery and Vineyard will be our Pinot Blanc & Chardonnay grapes. We are looking forward to it.
