Grape growers in southern Queensland have wrapped up a season blighted by bad weather which has damaged up to 90 per cent of some crops.

Hail and storms ravaged many vineyards in the usually prosperous Granite Belt and Mount Tamborine regions in the state's south, which is expected to lead to a shortage of Queensland wines in two years' time.

Angelo Puglisi, from Ballandean Estate Wines, said his crop on the Granite Belt was one of the worst affected.

On Christmas eve one of his vineyards was hit by hail, damaging 90 per cent of the crop.

That particular vineyard normally yields between 120 to 130 tonnes of grapes, but only about six tonnes has been salvaged.

"It was a bad Christmas present to get," he said.

To worsen the situation, weeks of wet weather pushed the harvest back later than usual, meaning that some of the remaining crop has over ripened on the vine.

"After three days of rain, the fruit was getting a lot of mould on it and we had to harvest."

The Granite Belt is not the only region to suffer.

Vineyards closer to the coast, near Mount Tamborine, also reported losses of up to 50 per cent.

Less wine from the region will be made this year which will lead to a shortage on the shelves in about two years' time.
