Vintage description
The 2023 vintage was characterized by warmth and abundant rainfall. Temperatures remained above average throughout the year, yet without extreme heat peaks – the maximum reached around 34 °C. Heavy rain in spring, August, and late autumn helped to replenish Lake Neusiedl. Despite the warmth, the wet conditions slowed ripening, leading to a harvest from mid to late September. Even after picking, the weather stayed mild and rainy – a vintage combining ripeness with refreshing balance.
