In recent months, the demand for information to invest and buy in Chile has grown rapidly. There is an overriding interest of European winemakers, and the formal visits of European buyers have increased more than 30%, compared to 2016.
The great majority look for pinot noir, chadonnay and sauvignon blanc, which are the base of the sparkling wine, and the aim of them is to take varieties in alliance with Chilean vineyards.
Experts emphasize that the qualities are not going to give. In Europe, in the last two seasons there have been frost problems, and having a third season is already worrying. Producers with international contracts will have to obtain wine from somewhere, and Chile is an alternative because it has much greater variety and quality.
