JamesCharlesJamesCharlesVirginia’s 2015 growing season followed a generally benign
winter, despite some temperatures around 0˚F in early January and again in the 17-20 February 2015 periods. While seasons since 2000 have trended toward longer growing seasons and earlier budburst, the 2015 budburst and bloom dates were more typical of 20 years ago. There were no reports of widespread spring frost. Abundant rains from May through early July kept growers busy with disease management and grapevine canopy management chores such as shoot-hedging and selective leaf thinning. Much of July through late September was unusually dry, while temperatures during this late-summer period were very close to 10-year means, resulting in very good grape-ripening conditions. Fortunately, much of the state’s earlier-ripening varieties had been harvested prior to a period of very rainy weather from 29 September to 4 October, which coincided with the offshore passage of Hurricane Joaquin and additional tropical moisture from a stalled low pressure system hanging over the Carolinas. Although this timing was unfortunate, temperatures were cold enough to limit the damage from the excess moisture. Harvest proceeded again through a fairly dry October and the initial indications are quite positive in terms of both the quality and quantity of the 2015 vintage.
2015 Growing Season Overviewby Tony Wolf, Virginia Tech’s AHS Jr. Agricultural Research and Extension Center
2015 GROWING SEASON ABOUT THE SURVEYThis year marks the sixth year the Virginia Wine Board Marketing Office has managed the annual Commercial Grape Report (CGR) data collection and reporting. Prior to 2010, the CGR was produced by NASS (National Agricultural Statistics Service). The survey questions were identical to those used by NASS; however, the capture of information was slightly different. The 2010 through 2015 surveys drew upon exact data provided by Virginia grape producers.
The Virginia Wine Board Marketing Office captured the individual responses and reported the collective data generated by those individual responses; however this survey is only as accurate as the information provided.
The information presented in this report was gathered through a census of all known grape producers in Virginia. Data was collected during the months of November 2015 through February 2016 by mail, telephone and online individual responses. Information obtained during the course of this survey was kept completely confidential. Only aggregate data is presented in this report. For further inquiries about this survey, please contact the Virginia Wine Board Marketing Office at 804.344.8200
SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL PRODUCERS WHO TOOK THE TIME TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS SURVEY!
