Early wine vintage creates production problems for South Australian grape growers - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation):
"An exceptionally early vintage is creating production difficulties for wineries and added pressure for grape growers in South Australia.
On average, this year's vintage was about a month earlier than normal due to a combination of local seasonal factors and climate change, SA's Winegrape Council executive officer Peter Hackworth said.
"What it's meant is a lot of the varieties that normally would ripen distinctively apart have tended to come in at the same time," Mr Hackworth said.
"Areas such as the warmer inland areas are ripening at the same time as the cool climate areas, so everything is tending to come in at once. It puts a lot of pressure on winery infrastructure.""
