5.1.3 Hectares of bearing <strong>and</strong> non-bearing red wine grapes<br />
Figure 13 shows the area (hectares) of bearing <strong>and</strong> non-bearing (less than three years old) red<br />
wine grape varieties from 1997 to 2014.<br />
Planting of red wine grape varieties has slowed considerably since 1997. Only 3% (300 ha) of red<br />
wine grape plantings were non-bearing in 2014, compared with 63% (2,110 ha) in 1997.<br />

*Not surveyed: 75% (225 hectares) of non-bearing red wine grape varieties are unrecorded <strong>for</strong><br />
2014; hence these figures have not been extrapolated. All other figures have been extrapolated<br />
with over 80% of varieties recorded.<br />
