NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS SERVICE 2011 Oregon Vineyard Report April 2012 805 SW Broadway, Ste 910 Portland, Oregon 97205 (503) 326-2131 or 1-800-338-2157 Email: nass- or@nass.usda.gov Website: www.nass.usda.gov/or USDA, NASS, Oregon Field Office Oregon wine grape production rose 33 percent in 2011 to a record high 41,500 tons. Although planted acres dipped 100 acres, fewer acres were left unharvested in 2011. Yields increased 28 percent to an average 2.37 tons from 17,500 harvested acres. Growers reported many challenges this season, including powdery mildew, botrytis bunch rot, deer and birds. Most disrupting of all was the weather. Spring came late and summer never heated up. Sugar levels developed slowly, but heavy pruning and favorable fall weather led to a quality crop. Many growers harvested later than ever before, risking late-season disease and animal exposure, although birds were less prevalent than in 2010. The consensus was that 2011 will be a memorable vintage.
