2020 was a great year for growing wine grapes... 2021 not so much. The growing season proved tough for the vines at Wollersheim Winery and Distillery in Prairie Du Sac. The harvest is wrapped up, starting with brandy grapes in mid-August. Only the Ice Wine grapes remain on the vines. Winemaker and owner Philippe Coquard says the majority of the harvest happens between August and September. In a season review of the summer and the harvest with the Mid-West Farm Report, Coquard explains the extremely wet and extremely dry weather throughout the 2021 growing season was an issue for grapes. But the good news is, the winery was spared from the late spring frost that had done damage in the northern part of the state. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
