When compared to the previous year, the volume of third party contract processing tonnes was down by 24,916 tonnes, due to the expiry of a long term contract processing agreement.
This was partially offset by the increased volumes (14,472 tonnes) processed from leased vineyards and third party growers. Overall the average cost of wine made from grapes sourced from the 2015 vintage is significantly less than the wine made from the 2014 vintage.
