Note: The target audience for this technical report is producers, viticulturists and other stakeholders in the wine industry. The in-depth regional overviews serve as a technical reference source for the 2026 harvest; therefore, macro- and micro-climatic phenomena are discussed in each regional overview. Given the geographical distribution of production regions, adjacent regions may overlap significantly, while distant regions may differ more. The collection of regional reports aims to be meaningful as standalone references. Relevant vineyard surface figures (SAWIS) are also reported per region to provide the necessary context.
