In a winery a lot of things happen and of course we like to share our
experiences with you. About once or twice a month we write up what happend and what
we think is interesting and noteworthy about our work and our wines. If you don't
want to miss anything, have a look at our
and get an automatic notification whenever we have something new. Just click on the

don't worry, everything's bilingual of course (German, English).

Website
Updates -
2007-11-24, 12:40 am
Altough maybe not completely obvious there have been lots of changes and improvements made to our
website lately and this will continue to be true for the following weeks as well. One by one we
revise the content, add new wines as well as their descriptions and we are of course always looking
for ways to improve the overall usability. Just look around, there are many things to
discover.
But there are of course other things happening in our winery as well at the
moment. Next week we will for instance bottle our young 2007 sparkling wines, Frizzz... and Rosante
and we are very much looking forward to this. News from this as well as lots of other interesting
things are of course as always best read here on our newsfeed.

November
News -
2007-11-6, 11:33 am
November has come and with it the usual cold and foggy times. It's starting to get uncomfortable on
the outside so the most interesting things are now happening inside our winery. 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!

things just recently. Early this week we copmleted this years harvest by picking the last Cabernet

Continuing the
harvest -
2007-9-10, 12:04 am
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.

Start of this
years wine harvest -
2007-8-30, 4:40
pm
Its the end of August and for the second time in only a few years the first grapes are already ripe
enough for the harvest. The early ones are now picked and this years Junger Riesling is already
fermenting in our wine cellar. Currently we paused the harvest because of unsuitable weather
conditions but we will most likely continue over the weekend. We will of course document the
progress of the harvest here so expect to hear more from us soon.

Red Wine Vintage
2006 -
2007-7-30, 12:16 am
Almost one year after the last harvest it is now time to bottle the first red wines of the 2006
vintage. They had enough time to mature in their casks and are now already very enjoyable to drink.
We used the hot days of the past weeks to stay in the cool cellar and bottle the first reds. 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.

Summer -
Update -
2007-7-12, 12:22 am
Following a little longer pause we finally have more news from the Sonnenmulde Estate Winery. The
reason for this break was simply the time of the year. Early summer is the busiest work period in a
winery and thus we spent most of the past weeks out in the vinyards. To catch up a bit we now have a
little update regarding the current state of the wine year.

developing very well. We are abount three weeks ahead when compared to an average year and the

Frost! -
2007-5-4, 9:09 am
Nature is our workshop. This saying proved itself again this year though it usually comes to ones
awarenes only when not soo good things happen. Now it struck our vinyards. Following the amazing
weather in early spring that lead to great growth, our grapes have now been bit by early May frost.

In the middle of
spring -
2007-4-21, 5:10 pm
... lots of things are going on in our vinyards. The early spring and the warm weather affected our
vines very favourably. Currently we are about 3 weeks ahead in terms of growth and it looks like the
good weather will stay with us for some time to come. The new vintage has begun and we could not
have wished for a better start.

coming -
2007-3-7, 8:37 pm
Following the premiering young wines of 2006 which we already bottled at the end of last year, it is
now time for all the other white wines of the current vintage. Just bottled last week they are now
stored to ripen a bit more before they are ready to be enjoyed. Be patient for only a short amount
of time, they will be available quite soon. We will have the first tasting samples with us next week
at the Innsbruck Spring Fair and the Viini Expo in Helsinki. (
Event Dates). When the wines will then be
delivered after these events, they will be ready to drink. Take the chance to come and visit us if
we are near you. We are very much looking forward to your visit.

Winter in our
vinyards -
2007-2-22, 10:01 pm
If you have been wondering what we are doing all day long in winter then you have come to the right
place. The first task which we have to carry out every new year is pruning the vines. This work
consumes all of January and even much of February in many years. Pruning the vinyards means to cut
the vines which have grown in the past year so that only short pieces of the shoots remain. This has
to be done to ensure vital growth and even more importantly to control the expected crop yield in
the upcoming year. Since every bud of a vine has the potential to form one or two grapes we have to
intervene and regulate here.

Vakanz 2007
Luxembourg -
2007-1-27, 6:37 pm
The Sonnenmulde Estate Winery for the first time in Luxembourg. Sharing a boot together with the
Hotel Rose in Steinach am Brenner (Austria) and
Voyages Ecker from Luxembourg we participated at the Vakanz 2007
holiday and travel fair. We successfully presented our fine wines to the Luxembourg public which in
some cases had never got the chance to know Austrian wines before and we are especially happy about
how well they have been received. Just as new for us was our visit at
Radio DNR Luxembourg. Many thanks to Petz Sandt who took the chance
to invite os to an interview on the spot. This and a short explanation of how a station like Radio
DNR works have been a very interesting experience!
