New Zealand Wine: A Dynamic Trade Organization in a Dynamic Wine-Producing Nation. New Zealand constitutes one of the world’s most dynamic wine-producing nations. Currently, 2024 production conditions look good. Philip Gregan, CEO of New Zealand Winegrowers, reported: “Since flowering in December, the weather has been close to ideal for grapes. All the reports we are receiving suggest ripening is progressing well and disease pressure is low. With the grapes in excellent condition, it seems we are heading towards another quality New Zealand wine vintage.” There may be, however, a lighter yield this year. “We are expecting some lift in crop volumes in northern regions this year, but nationally we expect the 2024 harvest to be down on the last two years, perhaps significantly so. We are about to conduct our pre-vintage survey of wineries and expect this will confirm all the anecdotal reports of a smaller crop in 2024.” New Zealand Wine Chris Stroud Charlotte Read Philip Gregan #NZwine Sommeliers Choice Awards Sommelier Business Beverage Trade Network USA Trade Tasting London Competitions USA Ratings London Drinks Guide Chicago Drinks Guide New York Drinks Guide Los Angeles Drinks Guide #prowein2024 #prowein

New wave in the wine industry- prowein24. Running from prowein last week to vineyards around the region this week I have only shared first impressions of the show that finished. Here are some more elaborated points: - Fresh wines are sought for - Whites have already taken over reds - Second gen winemakers in their 30s are on the scene - All of this paves the way for a change in the industry - Climate is a concern - fresh wines do not come from warmer spots - Sustainability is important - but with no sales not so much - Buyer structure is different - Russia is missing fully - Vineyards in cooler spots - a difficult ask With all of this in mind, I have seen a number of producers doubling down on reds, particularly from places where this has been a tradition, such as Spain. Despite that Spain has had the best appearance on the show, in my opinion. p.s. I am somehow thinking we will be blanc de noirs a bit more p.p.s. Another point of view on the fair is here: https://lnkd.in/d3zcdjv3
