Prejean Winery's 2023 Harvest
As many of you know, Prejean Winery, along with many grape and other fruit growers, experienced a hard freeze in the early morning hours of May 18, 2023; temperatures in parts of our vineyards were 23 deg F for approximately 6 hours. Although we have had minor frosts during the month of May in the past, we have never experienced this kind of hard freeze during our 44 years of grape growing in the Prejean Winery vineyards. This 2023 spring freeze did not cause the death of grape vines, but instead killed many of the season’s primary buds resulting in a much lower yield compared to an average year. At the time of writing, our 2023 harvest is about two thirds complete and overall yield looks like it will be about 50% of normal yield. Although grape quantity is down for 2023, the good news is that fruit quality is high!
