As of today – Friday 27 January – MVW is not yet aware of release of prices to growers by Casella Wines, De Bortoli, Berton Vineyards or Zilzie.
An updated grid will be released as new or revised prices come to hand. Growers with uncommitted fruit should refer to the attached Wineries Contact List.
MVW recommends consideration of vesting fruit with Vintage Traders Australia, which because it has large volumes available in its varietal grape pools has been able to leverage placement of fruit with a number of larger wineries, who may not be accessible to individual growers. VTA can be contacted on 5023 7410.
