Huge, record-setting wine grape harvest wrapping up

Huge, record-setting wine grape harvest wrapping up

November 8, 2016 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

A large harvest is always a beautiful sight and while Washington was already gearing up for a big harvest this year, it actually was bigger than they thought it would be. They attest the big harvest to heavier clusters. This year they were almost 15 to 20 percent higher than the average harvest. To learn more about this record harvest for 2016, read more in this article.

Key Takeaways:

  • What already was anticipated to be the largest harvest in Washington history looks like it will be even larger than thought, according to grape growers and winemakers across the state.
  • Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, which uses 66 percent of the grapes grown in Washington, reports that tonnage is coming in between 5 and 10 percent over its pre-harvest estimate.
  • Pre-harvest estimates put Washington’s wine grape harvest at more than a quarter-million tons, and nothing indicates it will be short of that.
