6.8 Dried grape property numbers <strong>and</strong> size 1997 to 2014<br />
Figure 40 provides an estimate of the number of dried grape growers <strong>and</strong> their average property<br />
size. Property size is the total hectares of grapevines, including any table <strong>and</strong> wine grape<br />
plantings.<br />

across the 5,415 hectares of grapevines comprised 3,555 hectares dried, 370 hectares table<br />
grapes <strong>and</strong> 1,490 hectares wine grapes.<br />
