Harvest report 2009
The 2009 Vintage was the vintage of the vineyard manager. Thanks to a good planning we employed a new vineyard manager in March and so we had 4 people working steadily on our Riesling vines stretching on about 12 miles along the Central Mosel valley.
It was crucial due to high humidity in the summer to have the vineyards in perfect condition with less leaves then normal to guarantee a good air circulation in order to prevent botrytis, peronospora and other diseases.
We mastered perfect vineyard management this year and are very proud of the result with extremely high ripeness levels as well as quantity in average, i.e.: 3.000l per acre.
Sufficient amounts of premium Auslese, Beerenausles and Trockenbeerenauslese Vines were made in our flagship vineyard Bernkasteler alte Badstube am Doctorberg.
We were able to harvest grapes with good must density as well as almost no botrytis.
In the Bernkasteler Johannisbrünnchen we still have grapes on the vine awaiting the required frost to be able to produce the 2009 Riesling Eiswein (ice wine).
