The summary

Tassie sets new records!

In 2025, Tasmania harvested 23,002 tonnes of wine grapes from vineyards across the island, anticipated to produce 1,661,000 cases (dozens) of wine, which is a new record for the island. The season also delivered another record high for the value of Tasmanian wine grapes, up to $3,924/tonne compared with the national average of $604/tonne, based on reported wine grape purchases*.

Seasonal conditions were fairly consistent across the island, with above average (but not hot) temperatures. It was very dry in the south east and drier than normal across the rest of Tasmania. These seasonal conditions resulted in an earlier and condensed vintage in 2025, applying some pressure on grape growers and wine makers, but supported great yields and high quality.

* The value of Tasmanian wine grapes is reported based on a voluntary survey capturing wine grape purchases. In 2025, 21% of Tasmania's total wine grape harvest has been captured through this purchase data. This does not capture the value of grower-owned fruit or transactions which were not reported.

We would like to thank the 54 Tasmanian producers for voluntarily submitting their data for this report, representing 69% of Tasmania's total vineyard area and extrapolated to show total harvest in this report. Thanks also to Wine Australia for including Tasmania's data in the National Vintage Report. Wine Australia estimates that the total Tasmanian crush for 2025 is 18,764 tonnes, based on a different methodology.
