5.3 Wine grape plantings yet to come into production<br />

Only 530 hectares (3%) of wine grape plantings were non-bearing in 2014 (less than three years<br />

old), <strong>and</strong> these were predominantly planted on large corporate holdings. The non-bearing<br />

plantings will come into production in 2015-2017.<br />

Figure 17 provides an indication of the tonnages (11,801 tonnes) that the 2014 non-bearing<br />

plantings will contribute once they reach full production. The tonnages are estimates based on<br />

2014 average yields as per Figure 16.<br />

Production from the 2014 non-bearing plantings represents a 3% increase on the 2014 production<br />

(413,627 tonnes) from bearing plantings.<br />
