New wines have to be bottled and a lot of things need to be done in the wine cellar. Now is an ideal time for every wine-enthusiast to visit the cellar and taste the young vintage 2007. The upcoming weekend will offer the very best opportunity to do so at the annual day of open cellar doors in Gols! Read more »

Wine Harvest

2007-09-10 00:04:00

After a few days break last week we were able to continue with the harvest. We picked Riesling and most notably Zweigelt, the latter is now even finished for this year. Since we had to take another rain-caused break this week we are of course very happy about this as well as about the quality of this years Zweigelt grapes. This week we will harvest Blaufränkisch and Merlot which leaves only Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Blanc behind. Both are scheduled for a later date, especially the Pinot Blanc which we plan to harvest as a Spätlese or "Late Harvest" wine. Read more »

First impressions prove what we already knew from prefvious tastintgs. The year 2006 turned out to be a great red wine vintage and will receive lots of attention in times to come. Read more »
