The year is coming to an end and it starts to be a little quieter again. The only thing left for us is to wish all our customers a Merry Christmas and a great start into the New Year 2019. Hopefully some of our great Sonnenmulde wines will accompany you at some of the festivities! Read more »
Years of waiting are over. Thursday morning we were finally able to harvest Icewine once again. It did
not come completely unexpected tough. Forecasts predicted a tight chance more than a week ago already.
And tight it was, but also just cold enough!

St. Martin's day is upcoming and with it the 30th incarnation of the Martiniloben Event with days of
open wine cellars in Gols. That itself is reason enough for a big party, but even more important are the
many fine wines you'll be able to taste. On St. Martin the new vintage's wines are baptised and may be
officially refered to as wines from then on. The preparations are already well underway an we're looking
forward to lots of visitors!

It's not even mid-September and we're already thinking about the end of the harvest. We're not done yet
and there are more grapes to be picked. But a good part of this year's vintage is already fermenting in
our cellar. And it does look good indeed!

Starlings are beautiful, very intelligent birds and were even chosen as Bird of the Year 2018 in
Germany. Nevertheless, the're not really our friends. Like many other bird species they like it a lot
around Lake Neusiedl. Alltough many of them live here around the year, every autumn they are visited by
lots of collegues that prefer to spend their summers farther to the north. In that time they form swarms
up to kilometers in length that can even darken the sky. And that many beaks need to eat.

The year of the earliest harvest of all times. Never before we started picking our grapes on the 20th of August, but yesterday we did. We brought in ripe, healthy Grüner Veltliner grapes. They were from a young vineyard that does not yet yield as much and ripens earlier, but still. Climate change is here and we have to deal with its effects. Read more »
Summer 2018 will be remembered as the quickest of all times, at least where grapevines are concerned. An early start into the growing season, no destructive frost events and just the right amount of rain led to a vintage that could not be better. Read more »
Vines are grown in a wire trellis. We re-planted an old vineyard earlier this year and also renewed all
the wiring and support for that occasion. Therefore we mounted more than 35 km wire this week.

The growing season is moving along with great strides. Just as every year at this point, we have lots of
work to do but only little time to tell about it. But still, everything is going smoothly and despite
all the work we are really happy with the current development.

Again it happened really fast. Less than a month ago we still experienced frosty nights and now
temperatures are almost reaching 30° C during the day. Just like in the last couple of years our vines
started growing early and the season is underway.

The current winter has not yet shown its grim side and it has been relatively warm all through the
holiday season and the past weeks. We use the opportunity to go out pruning our vines as long as the sun
is shining.
