QLD winegrowers look forward to harvest after wild weather last year

Stanthorpe wine growers are in good spirits as the picking season begins for white wine grapes. Growers on the Southern Darling Downs were smashed last year by severe storms and hail, with90 per cent of some crops damaged. This year, however, things are looking up. Growers Sam Costanzo and Angelo Puglisi are neighbours who were hit by the storms, and both are optimistic about the season ahead.
