Vintage Impact Summary - Post Harvest Update

This is a post harvest update to understand the impact of the Marlborough 2021 vintage. The insights we share in this paper keep leading back to a recurring question “is the wine industry moving more towards a value led strategy due to constraints on supply”?

In April we predicted the Marlborough 2021 grape harvest would yield a total of between 258 272k tonnes. NZ Winegrowers have confirmed the Marlborough yield was 270k tonnes, 21% below the previous vintage, from 28.5k producing hectares.
