May 2021 updateAs the vines rest so to do many of our grower members. It has been nice to see some wonderful holiday snaps showing up on social media as many take the opportunity to enjoy a well-earned post vintage break.
Word on the street tells us Vintage 2021 is estimated to return around average yields with above average quality across the State. A pleasing result coming off some really challenging years of drought, frost, and bushfires. Unfortunately, there were some increasing concerns raised by members around contract issues which was disappointing and added further layers of angst to an extremely busy time. I’m also hearing of some delayed grape payment which hopefully will be resolved sooner than later. EcoVineyards project extended for 2 more years!We're thrilled to announce our recent success with the National Landcare Smart Farms -Small Grants application.
