February 9, 2024 – Novato, CA – The California Department of Food and Agriculture Preliminary Grape Crush Report, containing tons crushed and prices of wine grapes sold during the 2023 harvest, has been released. The Crush Report provides growers and wineries insight into the inventory position of the California wine business as a whole and influences market dynamics for the current bulk wine market and grape market.  The 2023 Crush Report, coming in at a total of 3.6 million tons, fails to capture the full story of the 2023 harvest. The crop would have been considerably larger if not for soft demand and disease pressure that caused some acres to go unharvested. Despite the size of the overall crop, most wineries found themselves with an excess supply amid challenging conditions in consumer sales.  For specific details on 2023 harvest, see below: Key Insights by Region   Tons Crushed 2023 Tons Crushed 2022 Net Gain/Loss Equivalent Gallons

California’s 2023 crush finally concluded in late November after a cooler, wetter than normal growing season that prolonged ripening. In general, the volume and quality of the white and early red grapes appear to have benefitted from the extended hangtime; the later-season reds still managed to ripen in time, but potentially sized-up to a lesser extent. A significant number of rejections occurred due to high fungus pressure and rot, and some uncontracted grapes went unpicked amid a slow sales year, certainly curtailing the volume that crossed the scales: Our final guesstimate before the CDFA’s preliminary grape crush report in February remains in line with last month’s 3.5-3.6 million tons, but the extent of sizing in September surprised many, and the crush size could possibly have nudged above that estimate.  The feeling in the North Coast is that the crush returned to a more ‘normal’ level after the short years of 2022 and 2021, and the wildfire-hit
