“Winemakers are excited about the excellent wine quality expected this season.”
As a client-centric organisation, we understand the significant demand from our members to receive a Vinpro technical harvest report for 2024. This year, our members can expect an exciting report that will contain even more technical information from all wine-growing regions.
The 2024 harvest was characterised by the convergence of a series of climatic events that occurred at a regional level. In terms of the yield, regional trends varied, which could be attributed to the local impact of unique factors such as frost, heavy winter rainfall, floods, wind, and low summer rainfall.
Producers had to be adaptable and nimble to overcome the associated challenges. Nevertheless, winemakers are excited about the excellent wine quality expected this season, resulting from small berries, good ripening tempo, and moderate, dry conditions during the harvest period.
Winemakers are particularly excited about full-bodied red wines with exceptional colour and tannin extraction levels. On the white cultivar spectrum, wine enthusiasts can look forward to fresh wines with ample texture and mouthfeel.
