Latest harvest figures from the Consejo
Regulador show that
the total yield was 66,122,375 kilos of grapes, 65% of which came from
vineyards around Jerez. The next most important total was Sanlucar, with 11
milion kilos, then Trebujena with 8.4 million, Chipiona with 2.3 million,
Chiclana with 1.2 million and El Puerto with 0.28 million.

Twenty-eight
press houses crushed the grapes, half of these in the Jerez area. Chipiona had
the highest sugar readings of 12.31 Beaume, but this is down to the fact that
they leave the grapes on the vines a bit longer for the Moscatel. The lowest
readings were in Rota with 10.73 and Chiclana with 10.88, but all comfortably
above the Consejo’s required 10.5. The average was 11.77 Beaume.
