Yields are up for South Australia’s wine grape growers

The news is all good from around South Australia for vintage 2016, now progressing from the early harvests of white wine grapes into the state’s more famous Shiraz variety and other reds soon to follow. Yields are reportedly higher than expected after a prolonged dry season leading into harvest, with good rains in late January and early February helping both quality and quantity in most areas, according to industry experts in the regions.
