Last week’s frost has destroyed wine grape crops at Murrumbateman, in the NSW Southern Tablelands.
While some resilient crops managed to survive the cold snap, others have experienced losses between 50 to 100 percent in low-lying areas, ABC Rural reports.
Winemaker Ken Helm of Helm Wines said that despite losing two of his vineyards to the frost, he is confident that he will still be able to produce a reasonable crop this season.
"One of the really nice things is that we've been contacted from wine makers around Australia and particularly in South Australia," he said.
"I've had offers of fruit being shipped across to help me out if we don't get any fruit this year, which is a very nice gesture that the wine industry pulls together in times of adversity."
