Harvest 2025: A Vintage Split in Two
Harvest 2025 is in, and the headline is simple:
some regions smashed it — others struggled hard.
Micro-climates are now calling the shots, and the gaps are getting wider every year.
The Global Snapshot
The OIV’s first estimate puts global wine production at 228–235 million hl (avg. 232):
+3% vs 2024’s disastrous low
–7% vs the five-year average
Still nowhere near “normal”
Call it what it is: a partial rebound, not a recovery.
The 2025 vintage was shaped by three forces: earlier harvests across almost every major region, a clear sign that accelerated ripening and tighter picking windows are now the new normal; smaller yields overall, but often paired with impressively high-quality fruit where conditions aligned; and a season defined by climate extremes—heatwaves, drought spells, and sudden stress events that boosted some vineyards while causing others to watch acidity collapse in real time. The result is anything but a unified vintage.
Instead, 2025 is a patchwork of winners, losers, and everything in between, proving once again that micro-climate now decides outcomes far more than national averages or regional assumptions ever will.
