GROWING<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>

Growing and dried naturally under the Australian sun<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
The rich red soils along the mighty Murray River, through NSW, Victoria and South Australia, provide ideal growing\u00a0conditions, while the hot desert sun dries fruit naturally, sealing in the goodness.<\/span><\/h5>\n
Australian dried grape production is innovative, adopting\u00a0world\u2019s best practice efficient irrigation and mechanised farm management systems.<\/span><\/h5>\n
In an ever-changing landscape, Australian growers strive for innovation, ensuring their processes are efficient,\u00a0sustainable and fair. This guarantees a product that is not only good for you, but healthier for our environment, too.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

\u201cIn the 12-month period ending June 2020, a total of 5511 tonnes ($31,687,378) of Australian dried grapes were exported globally, compared to 5367 tonnes ($25,047,569) the previous year.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

SEE HOW IT’S DONE<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n
Australian Sultanas growers are at the forefront of innovation.<\/span><\/h5>\n
Most growers now use what\u2019s called a \u201ctrellis drying\u201d process. Put simply, this means the fruit is\u00a0dried naturally by the sun while still on the vine. The hot sun draws the moisture out, sealing in\u00a0the natural goodness. No sulphur is used in drying of Australian dried grapes.<\/span><\/h5>\n
From the vine to the plate, the quality of fruit is ensured throughout the whole process \u2013 from\u00a0planting, growing, drying, harvest, and processing and packing, to get the best possible product\u00a0for you, the consumer.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

VINES COME TO LIFE<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>
From early September, grapevines go through a\u00a0series of growth stages throughout spring. Over\u00a0spring and early summer, the grapes grow and\u00a0ripen, and their sugar content increases.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

DRYING AND HARVEST:<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>
Harvest begins in late summer to early autumn\u00a0(February\/March) when grapes are ripe. Most\u00a0growers use trellis drying, which allows the grapes\u00a0to dry naturally on the vine before being\u00a0mechanically harvested.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

PREPARING FOR SALE<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>
The dried fruit is taken to a local, state-of-the-art\u00a0processing company for grading, cleaning and\u00a0packing. Fruit is checked carefully to ensure it meets\u00a0rigorous quality standards, then it is cleaned and all\u00a0unwanted vine material is removed. Fruit is then\u00a0packaged for sale in Australia and overseas.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
