2024 vintage – a frosty year with a small harvest

An unusually warm February brought an early awakening to the vegetation along the Saale and Unstrut rivers – the vines budded correspondingly early. Then, on 23 April, the late frost struck: temperatures as low as around –6 °C hit shoots that were already well developed. Fires were lit in the vineyards at night to protect the sensitive vines from the frost with the heat and smoke. Despite all these measures, around 90 per cent of the vineyard area was affected by frost damage; in many places, a large proportion of the potential yield was lost. Even after that, 2024 remained challenging: heavy rain and warm, damp weather led to high disease pressure and intensive work in the vineyard. Where healthy grapes survived, good-quality harvests were nevertheless possible in the autumn. 2024 will therefore be remembered above all as a year of frost – with exceptionally low yields and a season that demanded everything from the winegrowers.
