Powerful Earthquake Rocks Chilean Wine Industry
Mar 1, 2010
Chile's wine industry was not spared from the effects of the devastating 8.8-magnitude earthquake that struck the southern part of the country early Saturday morning. Wineries in both the Curicó and Maule valleys, which are not far from the epicenter, were especially hard hit, and wineries further north in Rapel and Maipo also reported damage.
"Millions of liters are on the floor," said Sven Bruchfeld, whose Agricola La Viña project uses the Sagrada Familia custom-crush facility west of Curicó. "I lost 50 percent of my '09 Polkura and have no idea about my '09 Aylin Sauvignon Blanc, as bottles are everywhere. Most tanks are collapsed at the facility and I have no idea where the 2010 [harvest] will go. [This has caused] big, big damage to the industry."
