Spain with 966 000 hectares leads the pack, followed by France 794 000 hectares and Italy 708 000 hectares. Total South African wine vineyard area for 2020 stand at 92 005 ha, only 62 ha less than 2019. The lowest net change was in 2009 with -52.33 ha and 2006 the last year when net change was positive with 539.77 ha. Cultivars remained relatively constant (Table 2). Chenin blanc and Colombar remain overall the most planted white cultivars, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz as the most planted red cultivars. For the period 2010 to 2020 the vineyard area as a percentage of the total area increased in Robertson, Breedekloof and Worcester regions, while decreasing in Stellenbosch, Swartland, Northern Cape and Little Karoo regions (Table 3). Over the past 10 years there was no significant change in the hectare percentage white and red wine grapes in the various regions (Figure 8). Northern Cape, Olifants River and Swartland regions constitute the largest net decrease in white wine plantings. The largest net negative change in red wine cultivars occurred in the Swartland and Olifants River regions. About 22% of white cultivars are between 4-10 years, 23% between 11-15 years and 30% more than 20 years old. 36% of red cultivars are between 16-20 years and 27% more than 20 years old. Regarding individual wine grape cultivars, Chenin blanc represented 18.3% of the total wine surface in 2010, Cabernet Sauvignon 12.2%, Colombar 11.9%, Shiraz 10.0%, Sauvignon blanc 9.5%, Chardonnay 8.2%, Merlot 6.4%, Pinotage 6.2%, followed by the cultivars detailed in Table 5. In 2020 Chenin blanc increased to 18.6%, as well as Sauvignon blanc, Pinotage and Pinot Noir. Colombar, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Merlot and Ruby Cabernet decreased over this period. Figure 11 and Table 7 gives an overview of the situation with regard to replacement and age distribution. Notwithstanding this picture and under normal climatic conditions, the industry is able to produce large to record crops through improved and adjusted viticultural practices. Ramsey is the only rootstock showing an upward planting trend in most regions, especially in Breedekloof, Olifants River, Robertson and Worcester regions. The most frequent used trellising systems are Perold (40.8%) and Hedge (40.3%). In 2010 bush vines represented 14.5% of hectares and decreased to 11.2% in 2020. The most frequent used irrigation system is Drip, followed by Flood (Northern Cape and Olifants River regions), Micro and None (Swartland).

  • FABRE MONTMAYOU MENDOZA , a RGENTINA Hervé Joyaux Fabre, Owner and Director of Fabre Montmayou, Was Born in Bordeaux, France, to a Family of Wine Negociants
    FABRE MONTMAYOU MENDOZA , A RGENTINA Hervé Joyaux Fabre, owner and director of Fabre Montmayou, was born in Bordeaux, France, to a family of wine negociants. When he arrived in Argentina in the early 90’s looking for opportunities to invest in vineyards and start a winery, he was impressed by the potential for Malbec in Mendoza. As a true visionary, he bought very old Malbec vineyards, planted in 1908, and built the Fabre Montmayou winery in the purest Château style from Bordeaux. The winery was built in Vistalba – Lujan de Cuyo, 18 Km North of Mendoza city at 3800 feet elevation (1,150 meters of altitude), and is surrounded by the first 37 acres of Malbec vineyards that the company bought. For the Fabre Montmayou line of wines, the owners decided to buy exclusively old-vine vineyards in the best wine growing areas of Mendoza. With constant care and personal style – essential elements for great quality – Fabre Montmayou combines modern winemaking, Mendoza’s terroir and the Bordeaux “savoir faire” to produce wines of unique personality. MENDOZA, ARGENTINA Mendoza Province is one of Argentina's most important wine regions, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the country's entire wine production. Located in the eastern foothills of the Andes, in the shadow of Mount Aconcagua, vineyards are planted at some of the highest altitudes in the world, with the average site located 600–1,100 metres (2,000–3,600 ft) above sea level. The principal wine producing areas fall into two main departments Maipúand Luján, which includes Argentina's first delineated appellation established in 1993 in Luján de Cuyo.

  • Reviving Criolla

Amanda Barnes has the inside story WHEN THE SPANISH first conquered the Americas in the 1500s, they brought the holy trinity of cultivars – olive trees, wheat and grapevines.

  • Modeling Grape Price Dynamics in Mendoza: Lessons for Policymakers
    Journal of Wine Economics, Volume 14, Number 4, 2019, Pages 343–355 doi:10.1017/jwe.2019.29 Modeling Grape Price Dynamics in Mendoza: Lessons for Policymakers German Puga a, James Fogarty b, Atakelty Hailu c and Alejandro Gennari d Abstract Mendoza is the main wine-producing province of Argentina, and the government is currently implementing a range of policies that seek to improve grape grower profitability, including a vineyard replanting program. This study uses a dataset of all grape sales recorded in Mendoza from 2007 to 2018, totaling 90,910 observations, to investigate the determinants of grape prices. Key findings include: smaller volume transactions receive lower-average prices per kilo- gram sold; the discount for cash payments is higher in less-profitable regions; and the effect of wine stock levels on prices is substantial for all varieties. Long-run predicted prices are also estimated for each variety, and region; and these results suggest that policymakers should review some of the varieties currently used in the vineyard replanting program. (JEL Classifications: Q12, Q13, Q18) Keywords: autoregressive distributed lag, grape price, hedonic price, Mendoza. I. Introduction Accounting for 71% of total Argentinean grape production, Mendoza is the main wine province of Argentina. Argentina is the fifth-largest wine producer in the world (Anderson, Nelgen, and Pinilla, 2017;OIV,2018).

  • Argentina's Booming Vineyards
    May 16, 2009 THE NEW CONQUISTADORS: ARGENTINA'S BOOMING VINEYARDS For most, the dream remains just that, but for some, it is becoming an increasingly affordable reality, not in Europe, where land in the prestigious wine-producing regions remains expensive, but 7,000 miles away in Argentina. Foreign investors are queueing up for a share of Argentina's booming vineyards. By Gideon Long How many people, at some point, have idly dreamt of owning a vineyard and producing their own wine? Somewhere in Tuscany or La Rioja perhaps, somewhere sun-kissed and picturesque. For most, the dream remains just that, but for some, it is becoming an increasingly affordable reality, not in Europe, where land in the prestigious wine-producing regions remains expensive, but 7,000 miles away in Argentina. Mendoza, in the far west of the country, where the flat expanse of the pampas rises abruptly into the Andes, has long been the centre of the Argentine wine industry. Until recently, it produced cheap plonk for local consumption, but it is fast emerging as a major wine region to rival the best that Europe can offer. Its signature malbecs are finding their way to the world's finest restaurant tables and, in Mendoza itself, boutique vineyards and designer tasting-rooms are all the rage. Foreigners are buying into the boom. An acre of land here costs a fraction of the price you would pay in the Loire Valley or around Bordeaux, and there's plenty of it. Nigel Cooper is a Briton who recently bought 10 acres in the Uco Valley, a sublimely beautiful area some 40 miles south of Mendoza city.

  • Weon Carignan 2016
    WEON CARIGNAN 2016 Aupa is a wine produced by Vina Maitia, a small family project owned and operated by David Marcel of French/ Basque origin alongside his wife, Loreto Garau in Loncomilla, Maule, within a valley which benefits from a sub-humid Mediterranean climate where high temperatures in the summer are cooled by the breeze from the Humboldt current in the Pacific Ocean. This 10 hectare, 120 year-old, dry farmed, single vineyard is worked without intervention, with a sustainable approach of viticulture. Pipeño is the traditional method of winemaking in Chile, which began in the late sixteenth century. Pais, a.k.a. Mission/Listan Negro/ Criolla Grande, is a sacramental grape, traced back to the Canary Islands; the first grape planted in the Americas.

Yet, surprisingly limited information is available to producers with regards to the expected changes in wine style linked to a range of harvest dates, including early or late/delayed harvest. Therefore the main objective of this descriptive study was to create a reference base to better assist practical harvest decision making. The native South African Vitis vinifera L. cv. Pinotage was studied due to its early and rapid sugar accumulation, analogous to the predicted grapevine response due to climate warming.
