2022 proved to be a challenging year in the Kamptal Valley, different from the rest of Europe. After an exceptionally dry winter, long-anticipated rain finally came in mid-April. In fact, by the time the harvest began, the region had seen more than the annual average level of rainfall in six months. Not only did this deplete yields, but also encouraged the growth of powdery mildew in the vineyards. Thankfully August was dry, which brought the growth cycle back on track and enabled the grapes to reach excellent phenolic ripeness.
