Experts have anticipated that this year there will be a decrease that contrasts with the 2018 process, a period in which yields were 30% higher, compared to the complex harvests of 2016 and 2017.
In Chile, the harvesting process began at the beginning of March 2019. We have been little more than a month and, although there are still areas to be harvested, some trends are already visible.
Experts warn that, at a general level, a decrease of at least 20% in crop yields has been detected, which is mainly due to agroclimatic factors. This year there was a cold spring. The fruit set and the paint came quite late, and already at the end of January, when there was a significant rise in temperatures, rhythm recovered.
As we pointed out earlier, this decrease contrasts with the 2018 process, in which yields were 30% higher, due to the complex harvests of 2016 and 2017.
In the preliminary analysis by valleys, Itata shows good clusters of cinsault, a characteristic strain of the area. Maule and Curicó also present good prospects and this is the area where ch.com vineyards are located.
Where you can see some complications is in the Colchagua Valley, where there are more reports of decreased performance and whites do not look so great in quality.
