In the Gorizia Mountains due to high temperatures, a third less grapes

In the Goriških Brdih region of Slovenia, wine producers anticipate harvesting 4800 tons of grapes this year, which represents two-thirds of the usual annual yield. The significant reduction is primarily attributed to high temperatures during the summer, which caused premature ripening and reduced overall production compared to other agricultural products. However, the quality of the harvest is expected to be good, with high sugar content and balanced acidity. Director Silvan Peršolja of Kleti Brda emphasized the need for adaptive measures such as shading nets and improved irrigation techniques to mitigate future losses. He also noted that those who implemented expert recommendations saw smaller yield reductions. While the current harvest is of good quality, final assessments will be made after the Martin harvest. Despite lower quantities, prices per kilogram remain stable at around 0.9 euros for standard programs and up to 1.2 euros for premium programs.

In the Gorizia Mountains, grape harvests will be reduced by a third due to the effects of high temperatures

In the Goriška Brda wine region, the grape harvest is expected to be significantly smaller this year due to high temperatures during the summer. The cooperative Kleti Brda anticipates collecting only 4800 tons of grapes, which is two-thirds of a typical harvest. High temperatures caused accelerated ripening but also led to early harvesting starting in mid-August. While the quality of the grapes remains good with high sugar content and acidity, concerns remain about potential challenges for vineyard owners. Director Silvan Peršolja emphasized the need for measures like shading nets and irrigation to adapt to extreme weather conditions. Despite lower yields, grape prices are expected to remain stable.

High temperatures have wiped out a third of the grapes harvested in the Gori Hills.

In the Goriških Brdih vineyards, high temperatures this summer led to a significant reduction in grape harvests, with cooperatives expecting to purchase only two-thirds of a typical year's yield. The heat caused early harvesting starting in mid-August, which is unusual and unprecedented in recent history. Despite lower quantities, the quality of the grapes remains good, with high sugar content and acidity. Experts suggest that proper winter training and preparation of vineyards helped mitigate some losses. Future measures like shading vines with special nets and irrigation are being considered to adapt to extreme weather conditions. The price per kilogram of grapes will remain at last year's level despite reduced yields.

Due to the high temperatures in the Gorizia hills, there is a significant drop in grapes this year.

The article discusses the impact of high temperatures on grape production in the Goriške Brdo region of Slovenia, leading to a significant reduction in harvest volume. Wineries in the area expect to purchase only 4,800 tons of grapes this year, which represents two-thirds of the usual annual yield. The main cause of the decline is attributed to prolonged heatwaves, which affected vineyards more severely than other agricultural crops. While early harvesting began earlier than usual in August, some winemakers note that the quality of the grapes remains good, with high sugar content and balanced acidity. Experts suggest that adapting vineyard management practices could mitigate future losses, and prices per kilogram of grapes are expected to remain stable despite lower quantities.
