EE.UU: Washington abastecerá Columbia Británica por heladas que dañan producción de uvas

Washington Wine Growers is liaising with Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) to green-light an arrangement that will see growers provide grapes to neighbouring British Columbia (BC) to plug an anticipated gap in supply for the Canadian province’s 2024 harvest.

“It’s in the works right now,” Kristina Kelley, executive director for Washington State Wine Commission, confirmed to the drinks business, with “numerous meetings” having taken place already.

The partnership will see Washington supply the fruit at the end of its harvest (around August/September time), while the resultant wines will “be produced in British Columbia, by their wineries, their people,” Kelley added.

“British Columbia had a significant frost and won’t be able to produce wine from much of its crop,” she explained. “We had some frosts in Washington, too, in January, but it wasn’t the same deep freeze as in Canada.”
