Roughly February and March out of Nashik, opening in January and finishing in April. Rotterdam is about three weeks away through Nhava Sheva, which is what makes the window work at all.

India now has a large say in what a European grape costs in these weeks, because it lands as Peru finishes and while Chile and South Africa are still at sea. The catch is at the other end: Indian grapes into the EU are residue-tested closely, and a container held on arrival has spent exactly the margin the short lane was chosen for.
