The summary
Delivering super quality, record values and a return to strong yields
In 2024, Tasmania collectively harvested 16,805 tonnes of wine grapes, anticipated to produce 1,214,000 cases (dozens) of wine. The season also delivered another record for the value of Tasmanian wine grapes, up to $3,674 /tonne compared with the national average of $613 /tonne.
Seasonal conditions varied across the breadth and diversity of the island, requiring the usual vigilance and dedication of viticulturists. The north of the island received above average temperatures, while parts of the island’s south experienced cooler than average temperatures. It was also very dry in the south east and drier than normal across the rest of Tasmania. The seasonal conditions supported good yields and resulted in an earlier and condensed vintage in 2024.
