Vintage description
2018 started off cool until the very warm spring. Early flowering and even earlier veraison. Hot, but in between enough rain from the east (which means Leithaberg drier than east side of the lake). Harvest started exceptionally early (mid-August). High levels of ripeness, but still a lot of tension and elegance. Beautiful vintage especially for red wines.
