If a GI region has not been declared, or produces less than 5,000 tonnes, For example, some wineries make adjustment payments based on the average value then the data is aggregated into the relevant GI zone.

Therefore the average price should not be Total crush compared directly with an individual grower’s arrangement. The total crushed is the total tonnes of grapes crushed from a particular source Highest and lowest price region, whether processed in that region, another region in SA or interstate. All wineries in Australia that are known to source fruit from South Australian vineyards are Wineries are asked to report the highest and lowest prices paid for any parcel of fruit of included in the survey collection process. However, not all wineries submit a survey a particular variety, of any size.

An lowest prices are reported – provided that at least three wineries have provided this estimate of the non-response rate for each region is provided below each intake information for any particular variety. Note: the highest or lowest price may be for a summary report. Reported fruit is separated into fruit produced from the winery’s own very small parcel of fruit - and/or reflect an unusual pricing arrangement - eg payment or associated vineyards (“own grown”) and from independent vineyards (“purchased”). by the hectare rather than per tonne, “spot market” sales of excess fruit etc.

Crop value data On the survey forms, wineries are asked to record total purchase value. This is the FORECASTS total amount paid for fruit of a particular variety at the point of receival – NOT including freight.

Explanatory notes for planting data tables 1. Planting data tables are current as at April 2011 and include all plantings from the 2010 planting season. Vines planted in a particular year may include topworked or replaced vines, as well as new plantings in virgin ground. Where vines have been replaced or topworked, the old variety record is removed. This explains why the area planted for earlier years may be different in the 2011 report compared with previous reports.

2. Vineyard plantings are recorded by Geographical Indication. Planting details for smaller regions not included in the survey report are available on request from the Board.

3. Where a 0 appears in a table, this may indicate the presence of a planting of less than 0.5 hectares, or it may indicate zero plantings. Rounding may produce a slight error in totals or percentages.

State and regional overview Blanco (14 ha). Sauvignon Blanc plantings have declined from 156 ha in 2008 to 4 hectares in 2010. The total crush of South Australian winegrapes in 2011 was 682,671 tonnes. This was an increase of 1,093 tonnes above the 2010 harvest; with the top three There were a total of 3,649 growers registered with the Board as at 30 April 2011. regions being – the Riverland 56% (382,223 tonnes crushed), Barossa Valley 2133 growers (58.5%) have properties smaller than 10 hectares and account for 9.1% (62,118 tonnes crushed) and McLaren Vale 6.7% (45,518 tonnes crushed). 12% of the total vineyard area, while 127 growers (3.5%) have properties larger than 100 hectares (in the same region) and account for 39% of the vineyard area. The Riverland increased its production by 15% on the 2010 figures, McLaren Vale up by 7% and Barossa Valley up 4.2%, whilst the regions in the south east were down – Wrattonbully down by 39%, Padthaway down by 29% and Coonawarra Projections for future supply and requirements down by 28%. The Adelaide Hills was also down on production by 22%. Supply projections are included in the survey report, together with the wineries’ The total estimated purchase value of the crush was $360 million, down by $66 estimates of future demand and committed intake, which are collected in this million (15.4%) from 2010. The average purchase value per tonne across the state survey. The estimated production for 2012 for South Australia is estimated at fell from $936 per tonne in 2008, to $667 per tonne in 2009, to $626 per tonne in 841,000 tonnes – slightly higher than the 2010 harvest. Approximately 762,000 2010, and now to $566 in 2011. The average purchase values for the major tonnes is either winery grown fruit or already contracted; indicating there will be a varieties decreased in all but one region. surplus of 79,000 tonnes of fruit next year.

The estimated supply of grapes for South Australia in 2016 is around 843,000 The regions were faced with a challenging 2011 harvest with pest and disease tonnes. This estimate is based on the assumption of a return to “normal” growing pressures high, which was due to the cooler growing conditions and the above conditions. It does not take into account any residual effects of disease pressures average summer rainfall. and water allocations and quality or industry restructuring initiatives driven by consumer demand. This would result in an oversupply of nearly 267,000 tonnes, Varietal overview as winery demand for 2016 as reported in the survey is only 577,000 tonnes. It is important to note that due to uncertainty in the market place an increasing number The red crush was 387,511 tonnes; the white crush was 293,890 tonnes. Among of reporting wineries were unable to estimated demand beyond 2012. the white varieties, Chardonnay accounted for 52% of the production, up from 2010 by 7%. It is still five times its nearest rival (Sauvignon Blanc 9.9%), while of the reds, Shiraz accounted for 43%, with Cabernet Sauvignon second at 33%. Across all varieties, the proportion of purchased versus winery grown fruit was similar to 2010 at 73%.

Vineyard plantings Planting data derived from the Phylloxera and Grape Industry Board’s vineyard register shows that there were 76,495 hectares planted to vines in South Australia as at 30 April 2011. This represents a net decrease in the total area of 557 hectares since April 2010, compared to a 1,600 hectare decrease in 2010. There was a total of 378 hectares (<1% of the total area) planted in spring 2010 (including top-working and replants as well as new area). There were more than 75% new plantings of red than white varieties, compared with an equal split in 2008. The top 4 most planted varieties were all red varieties; Shiraz (142 ha), Cabernet Sauvignon (48 ha), Tempranillo (25 ha) and Pinot Noir (22 ha). Pinot Gris was the most planted white variety with 19 ha followed by Muscat Gordo

Cabernet Sauvignon quality was varied, with some parcels rejected due to Cooler conditions during harvest also had an impact on ripening, disease issues. The fruit took a long time to ripen due to cooler conditions particularly with later varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon. at the tail end of the season. The start of picking was running about 3-4 weeks behind last year with Sam McCardle harvest underway during the first week of March. Rain during the harvest Clare Valley Grape Growers Association also caused some delays and the mild conditions dragged harvest out into May. Overview of vintage statistics For the first time in many years downy and powdery mildew was found in The harvest from the Clare Valley was 18,801 tonnes in 2011, down 13% pockets of the valley. Fortunately, growers were well prepared – compared with 2010. The total value of grapes crushed in the region also particularly through the new GrowCare pest and disease email distribution, decreased by $5.7 million to $16.6 million. The average purchase value which kept them well informed about when to expect outbreaks and when decreased for the major varieties, with Cabernet Sauvignon decreasing by they should consider spraying. $217 per tonne (19.7%) to $882 per tonne, lowest on published record. Approx 75mm of rain throughout the second half of March caused some There were 16 hectares of new plantings in the Clare Valley in spring 2010 berries to split and as a result the incidence of Botrytis, particularly in (including top-working and replacements), with 31% Riesling and 25% Shiraz, was above average.

An estimated 10% of vines in the region were affected by Downey Mildew, By 2016, the estimated production is just over 28,300 tonnes, of which approximately 15% by Powdery Mildew and approximately 40% by 58.6% (16,600 tonnes) is already under contract or winery grown fruit. This Botrytis. leaves around 11,700 tonnes as yet uncontracted. Yields for the fruit that was harvested were well above 2010. Unfortunately, the high levels of disease reported, may have been due, in part, to the higher than average yields. This had a negative impact mainly on the later picked Riesling, Shiraz and some parcels of Cabernet were left on the vine. The full extent of yield loss is yet to be determined, but initial estimates are going to be somewhere between 20 – 40% of the region’s total harvest.

While all varieties produced high quality fruit during this vintage, the stand out for reds was Cabernet Sauvignon and for whites was Chardonnay and There were no new plantings in Currency Creek for the spring 2010 Pinot Gris.

Crop yields were down for Shiraz and some Sauvignon Blanc blocks, average for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blocks and above average for Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling blocks. While early Downy and Powdery Mildew challenges were able to be dealt with effectively by additional spray applications, the Currency Creek Region suffered little Botrytis pressure and benefited greatly from the warm and dry finish to the season. Overall, the 2011 vintage will be classed as good for the region with an uptake in fruit demand once the disease problems of some of the earlier maturing regions became evident. This was coupled with consistently

Crop market. levels at this time were reasonable but regular rain throughout February increased berry size and weight. Ripening was slower than usual due to the cooler weather, but these environmental conditions led to exceptional quality and diverse fruit flavours. The heavy rain event in March posed potential rot problems in some Shiraz vineyards. Fortunately, Cabernet Sauvignon was largely unaffected due to its resilience, tougher skins and late ripening attributes. Riesling was picked from mid March and red varieties such as Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon were picked either side of Easter (end of April into May). The standout varieties are Riesling which has beautiful natural acidity and pristine flavours, and Cabernet Sauvignon from the warmer sites, which is expressing classic varietal characters and structure.

The total area of vines included in this definition is around 900 hectares.

Overview of vintage statistics The harvest from Fleurieu zone (other) was 2,293 tonnes in 2011 – 12% down on the already low 2010 harvest. The total estimated value of grapes from these vineyards further decreased to $1.8 million, 12% less than the 2010 value. There were no new plantings in this area in spring 2010. The estimated production for this area in 2012 is around 5,500 tonnes. The wineries’ committed intake is 3,300 tonnes, leaving 2,200 tonnes of uncommitted fruit. The production forecast does not increase significantly over the five year projection period, but the wineries' committed intake decreases to 1,600 tonnes by 2016, leaving at least 3,900 tonnes of fruit likely to be available on the open market.

However, some of the fruit from the early Shiraz, Chardonnay and Cabernet blocks are of exceptional quality. The increase in rainfall resulted in larger than average bunch weights across all varieties, resulting in an approximate increase of 20% on average yields, due to bunch weight rather than bunch number. Quantities of Cabernet and Grenache in particular were above average with quantities of Shiraz about average. A variable, but slightly above average tonnage for white varieties was seen also across the region. Jodie Pain McLaren Vale Grape, Wine and Tourism Association

October to January had temperatures that were the 2010 harvest. The total value of grapes from the region decreased from same as the long term average. Below LTA temperatures in February/ $29.8 million in 2010 to $17.2 million. The average purchase values for March lead to a long drawn out ripening period. Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon decreased significantly again by a further Rainfall for the months of December through to March was 321mm, which $224 and $181 per tonne respectively. Chardonnay also fell by $97 per is over 200mm more than the LTA of 94.4mm for that same period. tonne. Harvest commenced approximately 3 weeks later than last year (late Feb) There were only 8 hectares of new plantings Padthaway in spring 2010 and concluded (late April) 3 weeks later than last year. This was due to the (including top-working and replacements), with the total area of planted slower rate of post verasion ripening due to the below average vines in the region decreasing by 50 hectares to 4,050 hectares. temperatures. The estimated production from the Padthaway region for 2012 is 40,500 Both Powdery and Downy Mildew were evident across the region but good tonnes. The wineries’ committed intake is 39,500 tonnes, leaving only application timing by the growers with their preventative spray programs 1,000 tonnes as yet uncontracted. firstly and secondly where required eradicates saw no real issues with In 2016 the estimated production changes little at around 40,800 tonnes, either disease at harvest. Red varieties struggled to ripen with most of the of which 16,000 tonnes is already under contract or winery grown fruit. Shiraz blocks stalling at the 12-12.5 Baume level. Along with the increased This leaves around 24,800 tonnes (60.8%) available on the open market. levels of rain, this greatly increased the incidence of Botrytis. A number of blocks were rejected due to Botrytis. There were some good parcels of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc harvested which are showing early flavour development. Again Shiraz would be the regions’ stand out variety; even with reduced tonnages some growers are confident of achieving some good quality results. Similar with Cabernet Sauvignon there are some parcels which are showing good potential. Overall, it was a challenging vintage, the most difficult for the Padthaway grape growers in the regions’ 47 year history. Currently, work is well underway with pruning and all growers are working positively towards a successful Vintage in 2012. David Edwards President, Padthaway Grape Growers Association

The total value of purchased grapes increased by $15.5 million to $105.2 million. The average purchase values for all The rainfall events that followed gave downy mildew ideal conditions for varieties slightly varied, with Shiraz continuing to fall to an all-time low of several secondary infections before most people noticed it. There was $302 per tonne. Both Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay increased in more rain around flowering which gave botrytis and other rotting agents a value to $314 and $233 per tonne respectively. good start. There were 75 hectares of new plantings in the Riverland in spring 2010 Conditions continued mild and wet which lead to canopies growing rapidly (including top-working and replacements) compared with 126 hectares in and ideal conditions for the spread of Powdery Mildew. the previous year. Most of the new plantings were in Pinot Gris 18 The mild conditions meant most varieties set very well with yields hectares (24%), Muscat Gordo Blanco 14 hectares (19%) and Shiraz 10 promising. Anecdotally there were lots of Gordo that did not do so well, hectares (13%). The total area planted to vines in the Riverland decreased perhaps as a result of lower than normal soil temperature. by 310 hectares compared with 1,000 hectares in the previous year.

The worst affected varieties were Shiraz and Colombard and to a lesser extent Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Overall harvested tonnages appear to be slightly up on last year despite all the losses to disease. The year was one to forget in the Riverland as it was for other areas and could almost be described as the perfect storm - not much more could have gone wrong. In an average year, the Riverland has one day in nine affected by rain and even then, it is usually not much. This year it was one day in four, often with large gauging.
