Allied Grape Growers Releases Most Recent "Allied Press"
Know your potential:
In our last “Allied Press” newsletter, we discussed the fact that the average California winegrape vineyard yield will increase in the future from the levels of the past. This is mostly due to the fact
that well over half of the winegrape vineyards in California are no more than a dozen years old.
Our average yields have been calculated based on bearing acres, but many of those acres were only in their first few years of production, and by definition, not at their full yield potential. In addition to the fact that these vines were establishing themselves as fully productive mature vines, our farming has been improving. This has the potential to create higher yields as well, while maintaining quality (at least that is the goal). Annually, Allied Grape Growers evaluates winegrape yields in an effort to better understand the supply situation in California.
