Grape Harvest – The Highlight of the Wine Year

The grape harvest, also called the vintage, is a pivotal and labor-intensive stage in winemaking. It takes place when the grapes have reached their optimal ripeness, which varies depending on grape variety, weather, and desired wine style. In South Africa, the harvest typically occurs between January and March. Depending on the quality focus, grapes are harvested either by hand or machine. Hand-picking allows for careful selection and is often used for premium wines. The timing and method of the harvest greatly influence the wine’s aroma, acidity, and overall structure.
