The shortest harvest ever! Superlatives seem to be all the rage at the moment. And that's certainly true for us too. This year, we harvested for exactly 13 days, from September 9 to 21. On the one hand, this was due to the relatively small harvest, but given its consistent quality, we're not complaining. On the other hand, the onset of September rains forced us to hurry. This year's climate was pleasantly normal, allowing the true flavor bombs to ripen perfectly, which now give us great pleasure every time we visit the wine cellar. The 2025 vintage is therefore well on its way to becoming a fine vintage.
Nevertheless, the mood is not entirely rosy. The wine industry is under pressure. Wine sales are falling, and the dip in consumption is weighing heavily. We are countering this with great pleasure and trust in our loyal customers. Costs are rising: for labor, materials, and logistics. Not yet, but with the upcoming spring price list, we will unfortunately have to raise the prices for wine and shipping. We hope for your understanding.
Online tasting put to the test. We have been offering our “Münzberg fer dehäm” evenings since 2020. Born out of necessity at the time, the format quickly found a surprising number of followers who tasted our wines at home or with friends in a cozy setting and cooked with us. We admit that we were seriously considering phasing out this series, even as requests for further events and suggestions for culinary themes piled up. We'll point to the bottom corners of this page and say, along with the bloggers to our esteemed community: “Write it in the comments.”
In any case: attractive sample packages. We have put together two 6-bottle packages for you. They are perfect for convivial gatherings with friends or to accompany fine dining. Or both – at a special price.
Proposed date: On January 31, 2026, we invite you to the new edition of the Schlachtfest im Bäuerlein. And on February 21, 2026, the VDP Cellar Night will take place again, with us among the hosts. Whether for one of these occasions or for a personal wine tasting at our winery beforehand – we look forward to your visit to Münzberg!
Best regards from the Keßler family and team
