2022 vintage – sunny, hot and dry

2022 brought the Saale-Unstrut region an exceptionally sunny and hot summer. Following a warm spring, the vines developed early and without the late frost problems of the previous year. However, from late May to mid-August, extreme dryness and drought prevailed. Younger vineyards in particular suffered considerable drought stress as a result, whilst deep soils were able to demonstrate their advantages. Then the rain came – just in time to stabilise the ripening process. The harvest began as early as the end of August and, due to the rapid ripening, required a great deal of attention and precise timing. Harvested selectively, healthy and ripe to fully ripe grapes made their way into the cellars. 2022 thus promises fruit-driven, aromatic and more powerful wines – and is likely to showcase its sunny origins, particularly in the red varieties.
