No buyer for Gulgong grower’s winegrapes

As Mudgee wine region begins its annual harvest over the coming weeks one Gulgong grapegrower may not even pick a berry. For the first time in 16 years Ian McMaster has “lucked out” and not found a buyer for his grapes. He believes on the verge of an otherwise promising 2012 vintage that about 175 tonnes of premium grapes will not make it to wineries here or abroad, reports the Mudgee Guardian.
