With many of the grapes expected to be used for this summer's production damaged, Ells said winemakers may be forced to turn to regions like Niagara in Ontario to get the necessary juice to get by this year. The Grape Growers Association of Nova Scotia has been advocating for funding since its members began to realize the extent of the damage caused when temperatures dropped to –25 C in early February.Īssociation president Steve Ells said he believes the province's vineyards lost at least 95 per cent of all viable vinifera buds, which are used in the production of Chardonnay, pinot noir, and Riesling, and anywhere from 40 to 90 per cent of hybrid buds, depending on the vineyard. "We can grow all the grapes we want, we need to have something there to help us with the wine as well," Coutinho told CBC News. Karl Coutinho, president of Avondale Sky Winery and board chairman for Wine Growers Nova Scotia, said this funding is a first step toward recovery for the industry. "This funding will help cover some of the extraordinary costs producers are facing over the next few years as the full scope of the damage is revealed." "I've talked to farmers about the impact last month's extreme cold had on their crops, and some are predicting a full loss of their fruit harvest this year," Morrow said in a release.
On Thursday, Agriculture Minister Greg Morrow visited Wolfville, which is home to many of the province's largest vineyards, and announced $15 million for fruit growers across Nova Scotia. In the wake of an extreme cold snap that saw Nova Scotia vineyards lose massive quantities of some of their most prized grapes, the provincial government is stepping in with emergency funding to help farms recover.
