a year with challenges

The climatic conditions of 2018 were extreme and demanded a lot from the winegrowers. In the Palatinate, the winegrowers experienced both dry stress and the challenge to harvest the grapes at optimal temperatures in order to secure the quality. The reading started early to keep the berries cool and delay the fermentation. The experience from the 2003 heat year led to an improved craftsmanship strategy in order to optimally ripen the wine. Overall, for many winemakers, there is a big wine year despite difficult conditions, especially for the red wines that are likely to develop promising flavors.
