Losses of 70% due to the late frost

02 May 2016 – General

Now it has become a sad certainty. The damage we suffered from the late frost ranges from 10% to 95%, with an average loss of 70%.

Our vineyards in detail:

• Dürr 10%
• Katerstein 20%
• Gloria 30%
• Föllikberg 50%
• Tatschler 60%
• Haussatz 70%
• Point 70%
• Setz 80%
• Bartsatz 95%
• Steinmühle 95%

The vines will sprout once more from the secondary buds, but these will grow few clusters – perhaps none at all. Furthermore, development will be retarded, and there is no guarantee that the grapes will ripen to full maturity.
