Vintage description
The 2024 vintage was marked by weather extremes. After a frosty but mostly snowless winter, an unusually warm February led to a very early budbreak, which was partly damaged by late frost in lower vineyards. Early summer brought temperatures up to 30 °C and abundant rainfall in May and June, resulting in vigorous growth. From July onwards, heat and drought dominated until the earliest harvest on record began on August 19. Heavy rain and a sudden drop in temperature then made the final phase of picking challenging. Overall, 2024 was the warmest year on record – a vintage defined by frost, drought, and flooding.
