The summary
WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THIS TOUGH LITTLE ISLAND MAKES #AWESOMEWINE!
Tasmania's wine producers rose to the (many) challenges across the 2023 season to harvest modest volumes of excellent quality. No two seasons are the same in Tasmania's cool and varying climate, and this sentiment rang especially true for the 2023 harvest, with challenges being plentiful and varied across the island.
In 2023, Tasmania collectively harvested 12,390 tonnes of wine grapes, anticipated to produce 895,000 cases (dozens) of wine. The season also delivered another record for the value of Tasmanian wine grapes, up to $3,377/tonne compared with the national average of $642/tonne.
