Teleford Wineyard ‘Best Year’ due to heat heat

The owner of a vine turn in Shropshire has said that 2025 has been his “best year” for harvesting due to continuous hot weather.

Rob Green bought Veeno in Telford in 2020 with his wife Katie and said the year’s weather helped fight mildew, which could damage the health and yield of grapes.

But the heat has also made the fruit “pack more punch and taste”, which Mr. Green said that “when they were making their own wine later in the year,” would shine through.

He said, “For the quality of grapes, bell health and simply overall wineyard is growing, this is the best year I would say,” he said.

Provision from Statistics Meteorological Office It is indicated that the UK may be one of the hottest summer records in summer.

The organization calculated the average temperature of the UK between June 1 and August 17, 16.2C (61.16F), which is 1.6C above the long -term average.

Mr. Green said: “Dryness and air have helped with mildew risk, which is a great help for grape care.

“But Summer and Surya Units – I think in May we had more sun units than last year which was just cloud and gray.

“This year, vines can actually reach the top of the trailis and the roots are actually deep in our sandstone soil.”

Discussing the challenges faced by other farmers, Mr. Green said that it was a “great shame”.

“This is just a variable season that we are watching and I think is kicking in climate change,” he said.

“I talk to my colleagues and they are seeing very little yield of either grass or wheat, and I think this winter is going to be difficult for anyone, especially in the livestock industry.

“But it is a moist wet year swings and round dizziness, making us struggle with the risk of mildew, but it is farming.

“This is always a challenge and it is difficult to be a farmer.”
