South African wine producers optimistic about 2025 harvest
Nonprofit organisation South Africa Wine says wine producers in the country are optimistic about the 2025 harvest, as most wine regions have experienced above-average winter rainfall, with improved chill unit accumulation and minimal frost damage. This is according to harvest predictions compiled by industry bodies Vinpro and the SA Wine Industry Information and Systems and follows a challenging 2024 season characterised by extreme weather conditions such as floods, frost and strong winds.
