Australian wine vintage 2010
The 2010 wine vintage (harvesting of grapes) is Australia is drawing to a close.
Assessments of it are coming in from industry analysts, winemakers and wine reviewers anticipating how 2010 vintage wines will turn out once vinified.
From an economic and industry performance perspective, the total tonnage of grapes is likely to be down significantly on last year’s (bumper) harvest. Depending on your point of view this is bad news (some grape growers are receiving offers for their grapes well below their costs of production) or good news (the wine industry’s biggest problem – oversupply – is partially addressed by reduced harvest size).
The endemic oversupply in the industry inevitably means lower prices for grape growers, particularly those without long term contracts. I feel deep empathy for the literally thousands of grapegrowers in regions such as the Riverina (around Griffith) who have stoically hung on through years of weakening demand and pricing, and for many of whom this year will destroy their businesses. Many have run out of cash and have borrowed all they can. Their vineyards will either be ripped out to be replaced with another crop or – for those who cannot afford this transition – their vines will be left to die without water.
So, we are starting to see a net reduction in the hectarage of grapes in Australia. One part of me is grateful that the endemic oversupply problem will, gradually, be addressed, although with Australia’s growing penchant for imported wines, another countries oversupply merely becomes our cheap wine. Another part of me is angry that we have not been able to market our wines, here or through exports, to soak up the increased supply.
The quality of this year’s vintage looks overall good through to excellent. The quality of wine making in Australia, long first-rate, is now unrivalled, and with many vineyards planted in the 90s now maturing well and producing great (although too much) fruit, expect to see fine 2010 wines. The first whites will be out later this year and the reds from early next year onward.
Consumers will continue to be the ultimate winners as downward pricing pressure remains strong on retail prices.
