As you can see, our little Riesling bunch has changed a lot over the last few weeks. Harvest season has already started, but the Riesling grapes will stay on the vines for another few weeks. We harvest the grapes at a very high sugar level and for this reason we leave them on the vines to reach optimal ripeness. To get the sugar level we need, Delheim relies on Botrytis cinerea (more on that in our next update).

Kind regards
The Delheim Team
