Swipe to see the lasting effects of April’s historic frost.
The only difference between these two vines is how they experienced the historic frost event that swept across much of the East Coast in late April.
One vine continued growing fairly normally. The other suffered significant frost damage, resulting in no shoots or grape clusters.
While we’re grateful that most of our vines survived, the effects of that frost are still visible today. Across our vineyards, we expect fruit yields to be roughly 30–50% below average this season.
Many growers throughout the region were affected, and some vineyards experienced even greater losses. It’s a reminder of the challenges farmers face each year, many of which are completely beyond their control.
