The 2020 growing season started quietly but was pushed forward by a very warm and dry April. They expected the earliest flowering ever at Grünhaus, but the cool weeks in late May and early June delayed the flowering far into June, which was simply wonderful. They were also spared any significant frost damage this year. The summer was very dry and sunny, but, there was no drought stress due to the good water supply of the Grüneberg. The harvest started on September 16, a little earlier than last year, with moderate ripeness and excellent acidity. They didn’t harvest any Riesling above Spätlese, but it’s what they call a "classic" vintage, with great finesse and ageability.

Spring has sprung in this glass! So effusive and yet so delicate, this is a dry riesling fairy tale that came true. Love the juicy fruit on the mid-palate as much as the long, very elegant finish. - 93pts James Suckling
