WINEMAKERS NOTES
Rivaner grows in our cooler sites to capture the wonderful fruit flavours. The soil type is loess and loamy loess. The vineyards are intensively tended by hand. Manual foliage work such as defoliation and a reduction in yield in mid-summer by cutting excess grapes to the ground (green harvest), form the basis for this high quality.
The 2020 vintage was again an early vintage. A very early flowering had led to a very early harvest. The Rivaner was harvested at a relatively highly ripe time.
