The Golden Gem Grapefruit is a variety of grapefruit that is known for its sweetness and low acidity, making it a popular choice for fresh eating and juicing. This variety typically features a light yellow or golden skin and a bright, sweet-tart flesh. It is often prized for its smoother texture and less bitter taste compared to other grapefruit varieties. This makes it a favorite for those who enjoy the citrus fruit but find traditional grapefruits too tart or sour. Golden Gem Grapefruit is grown in warmer climates, with significant cultivation in regions such as California. It is part of a broader trend towards breeding fruit varieties that balance sweetness and acidity, making them more consumer-friendly.

Most grape varieties can’t handle having wet roots, but thankfully, Sauvignon Blanc tends to thrive in these conditions. Being at 1,400-foot elevation, with intense heat but wet soil, keeps the vines from getting over-stressed so they don’t ramp up sugar production. The high water content in the soil creates natural inhibition of sugar accumulation. There aren’t many places in California where these conditions exist.

Organic and biodynamic growers in particular are struggling due to an unusually wet spring. In Champagne, up to 50% of the harvest is expected to be lost in the worst affected areas, compounded by ongoing fires that are also affecting yields. Burgundy, especially Côte-d'Or, is also facing intense mildew pressure with an expected loss of 15-20% of the harvest. This indicates a significantly reduced yield in 2024, but not as severe as in 2021.
