• Württemberg remains on a later schedule, with its wine association planning an update on 19 September.
• Growers report healthy fruit following recent rains and sunshine, though persistent wetness still threatens rot and quality loss.
• Thuringia prepares small picks next week for a Federweißenfest and reports no rot so far, with only five full-time producers in the state.
