Vintage 2024 – A year of clarity and patience
When we look back on the 2024 vintage, we remember a season that demanded everything from us in the vineyard – and that is precisely why it produced wines that we are particularly proud to present.
The year began slowly, with cool temperatures and slow development in the vines. Fortunately, we were spared late frost, but the high pressure from downy mildew made it one of the most labor-intensive years of the last decade. Many hours of manual labor, meticulous canopy management, and uncompromising selection in our steep slopes characterized the summer.
Yields were low, but what we were able to harvest was exceptional. Healthy, aromatically concentrated grapes with a fine, ripe acidity – the foundation for wines that are lively, clear, and deeply structured.
The musts showed tension and precision from the outset, and the result are wines with radiant freshness, ripe, lively acidity, and impressive depth – all wines are uncompromisingly dry and bear the unmistakable signature of our vineyards.
The collection of wines from the 2024 vintage impressively shows how much energy can be found in a cool, challenging year. Batterieberg, Ellergrub, Zeppwingert, and Steffensberg present themselves as purist, dense, and long – with that salty minerality that cannot be described, only tasted.
A vintage that challenged and rewarded us – with its clarity, precision, and tranquility.
