Zweigelt harvest finished

15 Sep 2011 – General

Under the best possible weather conditions, we shall finish the Zweigelt harvest today.

The grapes are totally ripe—one can even observe the rare phenomenon of contraction among healthy non-botrytised berries.

In the cellar, there’s consistently more to do. Aeration of the red wines is numbered among the meditative activities.

What is that? Correct: foaming Zweigelt must at the onset of fermentation.
