6.1 Change in dried grape varieties 1997 to 2014
In 1997, 2009 and 2014 the proportion of non-bearing areas (less than 3 years old) was 5% to 6%
(Figure 28). The relatively high proportion (19%) of non-bearing areas in 2003 was due to large
plantings of Sultanas as well as new plantings of Carina currants and Sunmuscat.
Further details on the 6% of non-bearing dried grape plantings in 2014 are provided in Figure 33.
