The USDA California Field Office publishes a year end Wine Grape statistic called the California Grape Crush Report. The final summary for the year 2016 shows a statewide increase of 9.3% with the largest share of all grapes crushed being the red wine variety. It is interesting to note that the highest average price paid went to District 4 (Napa County) a t $4,685 per ton!
Our region (District 13) has the largest volume share of this crush statistic but the average price per ton was $301.85
Observe that Muscat of Alexandria is a leading grape variety.
