2020 Producer Harvest Reports
With descriptors like "near perfect" and even "extraordinary," the 2020 vintage reports from our producers are filled with good news.
Worth the Effort: The 2020 Harvest at Villa Wolf in Germany’s Pfalz Region
Foresight and a Lot of Extra Vineyard Work Lead to an Exceptional Vintage – Because of its very early start, the 2020 growing season caused some viticultural concerns from the very beginning. But thanks to the intuition and exertions of our very dedicated vineyard team, this year has turned out to be extraordinary. To put this vintage in perspective, Patrick Möllendorf, head winemaker at Villa Wolf, commented that 2020 "reminds him a lot of that harmonious 2012 vintage, which had conditions that were almost as ideal as this year and produced wines that now show enormous aging potential."
The Near-Perfect 2020 Harvest at Dr. Loosen
"Grapes Like From a Picture Book!" – The 2020 growing season and harvest both got off to an early start here in the Mosel, but ended up giving us picture-perfect fruit for excellent dry wines, as well as brilliant off-dry and medium-sweet wines at the lower end of the Prädikat spectrum. When describing the 2020 vintage overall, our cellar master, Bernhard Schug, summed it up best by simply calling it "a Kabinett/Spätlese year."
