Montana’s largest winery kicks off grape harvest, aided by climate changes boosting wine potential.
Grape harvest has started at Ten Spoon Vineyard and Winery in Missoula, Montana’s largest commercial winery, hosting its annual Community Grape Harvest where volunteers pick St. Pepin grapes in exchange for lunch and drinks.
The winery, with nearly 8 acres of vines, grows disease-resistant grapes that ripen early and avoid frost, aided by changing climate conditions.
Owner Andy Sponseller notes increased heat accumulation and fewer frost threats compared to past decades, reducing the need for costly frost protection.
A 2020 deep freeze caused major damage, but vines have since strengthened despite a shorter growing season.
Lab tests ensure optimal grape quality before harvest, and climate studies suggest Montana’s wine potential may be expanding.
