THE HARVEST
The harvest begins at the end of September, traditionally on
Saint Wenceslas day, 28 September, for the early-ripening grape
varieties such as Müller-Thurgau and Blauer Portugieser. It
continues throughout October until the beginning of November when
the late ripening Riesling grapes are picked. The grapes are
hand-harvested and placed into fruit boxes. White-grape varieties
are picked in the morning at lower temperatures, whilst the black
cultivars for the production of red wine are harvested during the
warmer afternoons.
