The latest survey that wine industry body SAWIS performed among producer cellars and Vinpro viticulturists indicated that the 2019 wine grape harvest might at this stage be even smaller than in 2018. Last year, the Western Cape was affected severely by a three-year drought. “The berries and bunches are smaller, lighter and less dense than usual,” said Francois Viljoen, manager of Vinpro’s viticulture consultation service, in a statement issued on Monday.
“This trend can be attributed to unfavourable weather conditions during flowering and set in October and November, as well as above average winds experienced at the start of summer.” Many vineyards, especially dryland vineyards, have not yet fully recovered from the effect of the drought, which also continued in the Klein Karoo region during 2018.
