VALLE DE UCO, March 27 — In Argentina’s Valle de Uco wine region, at the foot of the Andes, frantic picking is under way to try and save what remains of what is predicted to be the worst grape harvest in decades.

“We hurry... because we are afraid of another frost,” enologist Marcelo Pelleriti of the Monteviejo winery told AFP. “Fewer grapes means more work,” he explained—with pickers having to separate healthy grapes from damaged ones by hand.Monteviejo—a large vineyard between 1,000 and 1,200m above sea level—expects to have a harvest 50 per cent smaller than last year.For Argentina as a whole, the 2023 harvest will not exceed 15.4m tonnes of grapes, according to projections by the National Institute of Vitiviniculture .

The country has just emerged from two good commercial wine years, linked directly to increased home consumption during the Covid-19 pandemic.
