The grapes thrive on slopes between 250 and 550 m. The vineyards have lime-rich, loamy to gravelly-clay soils and are exposed to strong temperature fluctuations between day and night. Above-average temperatures in spring encouraged earlier budding. The persistent warm temperatures in May resulted in rapid flowering.

The harvest began almost two weeks earlier than usual. Because the weather was ideal, grapes of outstanding quality were harvested throughout the entire harvest period.
