Stirring the Lees with James Molesworth
Wineries up and down the country are reporting damage, though communication is difficult
Posted: February 28, 2010 By James Molesworth
We're all saddened to hear of the hundreds of people killed and millions more displaced by the magnitude-8.8 earthquake that hit Chile early on Saturday morning. My blog will focus on the serious effect the quake has had on the Chilean wine industry, an important part of the country's economy. I've heard from many vintners in Chile, though there are many more that I am waiting to hear from.
Initial reports are not good, with many wineries reporting broken tanks and millions of liters of wine lost. Apparently many wineries located in the southern valleys of Curicó and Maule were hit hard, but wineries north in Colchagua and Maipo were not spared. Power is down as well, which means wineries that were about to begin harvesting their white varieties are now stuck with grapes on the vines. Cellular networks are disrupted as is Internet and e-mail, so communication is still difficult.
