About the report

Wine Australia's annual vintage report is produced on behalf of the wine sector based on survey data collected across all winegrowing regions in Australia. It provides:

• an estimate of the total crush in Australia;
• a summary of the grape crush in each region by variety; and
• an analysis of grape purchases including price dispersion.

_{Please note that the survey figures have been updated as at 30 July 2025, to correct an error that caused a notable tonnage of purchased grapes to be allocated to Murray Darling – Swan Hill (NSW) instead of Murray Darling – Swan Hill (Vic). This has had a small effect on the share and year-on-year change by state for Victoria and NSW, as well as affecting the two Murray Darling – Swan Hill tables in the appendix of the report. There has been no change to the overall tonnage, or to any other region.}

_{Separately, an amount of Prosecco was incorrectly classified as Muscat Gordo Blanco, also in Murray Darling – Swan Hill. This has also been corrected, with the effect that the tonnage, year-on-year change, average value and price dispersion for both varieties have changed (both at a national and regional level).}

Report summary - 2025 report

The 2025 Australian winegrape crush is estimated to be 1.57 million tonnes, 8 per cent below the 10-year average of 1.71 million tonnes but 11 per cent higher than the 2024 crush of 1.41 million tonnes.

South Australia (SA) accounted for the largest share of the national crush tonnes with 48 per cent. This was 8 per cent higher than the very low 2024 crush, but still 13 per cent below its 10-year average of 857,640 tonnes. South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria together accounted for 96 per cent of the crush. For the second year in a row, Tasmania is estimated to have had a record crush – this time 18,764 tonnes, a further 12 per cent above the previous year’s record.

Crush by colour and variety

The crush of red varieties was 20 per cent larger than in 2024, but still well below its 10-year average and the third-smallest since 2014. The crush of white varieties was just 2 per cent higher than in 2024, and 8 per cent below its 10-year average. After briefly overtaking reds to hold the majority share of the crush in 2024, whites decreased their share to 47 per cent in 2025 – in line with their 10-year average.

Most of the major reds increased their crush in 2025, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Pinot Noir accounting for most of the increase. Shiraz regained its position as largest variety overall, after briefly losing this position to Chardonnay in 2024. Despite a 23 per cent increase year-on-year, the crush of Shiraz was 14 per cent below its 10-year average and 32 per cent smaller than its peak in 2021.

Chardonnay remained the largest white variety in 2025 but decreased by 13 per cent due to significant frost losses, causing it to lose share to Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris/Grigio.

Crush value

The total value of the winegrape crush in 2025 is estimated to be $1.13 billion. The weighted average value for purchased grapes was $604 per tonne, down by 1 per cent compared with 2024. Purchased grapes accounted for 71 per cent of the crush and increased by 15 per cent in tonnage, while winery-grown grapes increased by 2 per cent.

The overall average value across all grapes, winery-grown and purchased, was $722 per tonne, which was 2 per cent higher than the figure in 2024, as a result of the increased share of reds and cool / temperate grapes in the overall mix.

Price dispersion

Price dispersion data for all individual regions and varieties from 2008–2025 can be found on the Wine Australia interactive Vintage Survey Dashboard.

About the National Vintage Survey

The National Vintage Survey is a single annual crush and price survey conducted by Wine Australia on behalf of the Australian wine sector. This report has been prepared based on an analysis of the survey results.

All Wine Australia levy payers (approximately 2200 businesses) are surveyed. Respondents are asked to provide individual transaction data by variety and region for grape purchases and a summary of their own grown fruit by variety and region. This enables accurate reporting of crush (production) and price dispersion data by variety and GI region as well as at a national and state level.
