The EU-28 area under vines is estimated at 3.3 million hectares, remaining stable since 2016. Spain with 969 000 hectares leads the pack, followed by France and Italy. Total South African hectares for 2019 stand at 92 067 ha compared to 93 021 ha in 2018. This represents a decrease of 955 ha. Since 2009 a steady decrease totaling 9 192 ha (-9.1%). 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 2009 to 2019 the vineyard area as a percentage of the total area increased in Breedekloof and Olifants River regions, while decreasing in the Paarl, Robertson, 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, Paarl and Robertson regions. About 26% of white cultivars are between 11—15 years and 29% more than 20 years old. 45% of red cultivars are between 16—20 years and 20% more than 20 years old. Regarding individual wine grape cultivars, Chenin blanc represented 18.4% of the total wine surface in 2009, Cabernet Sauvignon 12.3%, Colombar 11.8%, Shiraz 9.9%, Sauvignon blanc 9.3%, Chardonnay 8.2%, Merlot 6.5%, Pinotage 6.0%, followed by the cultivars detailed in Table 5. In 2019 Chenin blanc increased to 18.6%, as well as Sauvignon blanc, Pinotage and Pinot Noir. Colombar, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Merlot 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 and Hedge. In 2009 bush vines represented 14.8% of hectares and decreased to 11.2% in 2019.
