UPDATE: MEXICAN GRAPES

June 5, 2025

Mexican green and red grape supplies continue to tighten. Early estimates state growers lost 50% of harvest on red grapes and 30% on green grapes due to storm damage.

  • Markon Essentials (ESS) Grapes are available   
  • Red grapes are seeing most immediate damage as they were in peak maturity with high brix levels
  • High brix levels combined with rain will cause splitting of the grapes
  • Growers are directing crews to focus on red grape harvest, in turn slowing harvest on green grapes
  • Quality is expected to be good; mold and split grapes are expected
  • Quality control crews will double their efforts to ensure the best quality available upon shipping
  • The California season is expected to begin mid-July
  • Expect extremely low volume and elevated markets for the next six weeks
