In Rheinhessen it rained three times as much as normal in May, after a very cold spring. July into September was mainly dry, with warm weather maximum temperatures of 35°C in August. The harvest started early, the main harvest began in midSeptember. Mostly very healthy, mature grapes with decent must weights were harvested. The "summer in September" will be remembered for a long time by Rheinhessen winemakers. Overall, fruity, juicy wines with slightly lower alcohol levels than expected. The Rieslings benefited especially from the ideal autumn and present themselves distinctively aromatic, the excellent flavor is according to the experts the secret of the vintage 2016.
