Harvest of local varietals begins in GermanyFavourable Conditions for a Good Vintage in 2008The harvest of early-ripening local varietals began this week in Germany. Weather conditions during the past months have been quite favourable for grape growth and ripening. At this time, development is one to two weeks earlier than the long-term norm and the grapes are quite healthy. The start of the main harvest for wine production is likely to take place in the second half of September. According to Ernst Büscher of the German Wine Institute/Mainz: “Grape development is well ahead of schedule and this bodes well for vintage 2008. Yield prognoses are also satisfactory at this stage.” Weather conditions during the next few weeks will decisively influence the overall quality of the crop. Moderate temperatures and not too much precipitation would be ideal.
