The farmers have even covered the vines in Alaşehir and Sarıgöl. Daytime temperatures have, however, climbed to 25-30C (77-86F) in recent weeks, but sunshine is still lacking. Cloudy conditions with occassional rains prevail. This has not impacted the grapes in Manisa so far and production is estimated at 300,000 mt. First quotes range
