We won’t produce any icewine this vintage, we still have enough. Still, a lot of other winerys will give it a try this year, and it looks good. It won’t take to long this year to get the necessary frost.
It is not to much what is needed, just temperatures below -7 °C, a few helping hands, and still nice and healthy grapes hanging on the vine.
Not this ones I’m going to show you here
No icewine grapes, just the left overs from the last vintage after snowfall and temperatures around -1°C.

It won’t taste nice, even if it’s frozen

I haven’t be alone outside, my dog left his place in the winecellar and and joined me for the little walk.
Still you can find some green leaves in the vinyard

It seems to be the cool climate is coming back to germany. After several years harvesting grapes under warm conditions we are back to normal. No need to think about cooling down the mash or grapes, everything is just fine. The Riesling loves this conditions!
