Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon: Preserving Heritage and Tackling Future Challenges For over 20 years, work has been underway in Chile to delve into the genetics of the country’s rich patrimony of vines, blending innovation in viticulture with wine tourism and public-private partnerships. This dedication has now entered a new phase of high-level specialisation, with a focus on preserving and advancing the legacy of Chilean #CabernetSauvignon. I would like to extend my gratitude to the opinion leaders in wine and genetics from Chile, Switzerland, England and France whose guidance has been invaluable, throughout. This report summarises my 23 years in the field, highlighting the pivotal role of Cabernet Sauvignon across producing and consuming nations. I’m particularly grateful for the consistent research and editorial support of Fran Bridgewater FCIM - Chartered Marketer, with whom I have worked closely with for over two decades. After all, this variety is the global star. A Clone for the Future: Cabernet Sauvignon and the Challenges of Climate Change (Original Report by Forbes Argentina, by Juan Manuel Romero) ‘The pursuit of a new Cabernet Sauvignon clone in Chile could prove instrumental in overcoming the twin challenges of climate change and pest resilience. This initiative aims to ensure the longevity and quality of one of the world’s most iconic wine varieties. ‘At a time when the global wine industry faces mounting pressure, Cabernet Sauvignon is at a critical crossroads. As vineyards near the end of their productive lives — often within 30 to 40 years — disease and pest pressures demand innovative solutions. With its rich genetic heritage, Chile is uniquely positioned to lead the way. The Genetic Treasure of the Andes Chile’s viticultural landscape holds a distinct advantage: unlike Europe and much of the New World, it was untouched by the phylloxera crisis of the 1860s. As a result, its vines remain unaltered by the grafting practices that reshaped global vineyards, preserving a treasure trove of pre-phylloxera genetics. ‘This exceptional legacy inspired agronomist Maximiliano Morales to embark on a groundbreaking initiative: the creation of a Genetic Rescue Centre. This project seeks to preserve and propagate a Cabernet Sauvignon clone rooted in this pre-phylloxera material — an effort with the power to revolutionise viticulture in the face of modern challenges. A Resilient Future ‘The traditional rootstocks which saved Europe’s vineyards from phylloxera are increasingly vulnerable to emerging pests, such as Margarodes together with shifting climatic conditions. ‘Thus, the development of a Chilean clone represents a significant opportunity to create vines that are not only sustainable but also uniquely adapted to these evolving threats.

#WineAlert Andes Wines is launching a new section! Instagram Live Interview, follow us! https://lnkd.in/gSa4Zddm Today, we have one, stay tuned! Grapes are Good, Wine Even Better

Why Château Montrose Acquired a winery in Virginia? We interviewed Janine Aquino, Licensed Winery Real Estate Agent from Aquino Baron Consulting to explain better what’s going on in the Wine Scene in Virginia after years of hard work from many Local Wine Families that are ready to upscale their operations and even putting for sale their wineries due to the increasing interest from investors from international investors. In fact, according to Jancis Robinson MW website’s Virginia is becoming the golden land for French Investors that want to expand their empires in the American Market. “The most recent purchase, by France’s powerful Bouygues family, owners of second-growth Château Montrose as well as cult Loire estate Clos Rougeard and Domaine Henri Rebourseau in Burgundy, has been on the east coast. Lost Mountain, a small but successful venture in Virginia, is the latest recruit to a wine group now known as Eutopia Estates.” It’s not a secret and the General manager Pierre Graffeuille, ex Château Léoville Las Cases explains that “Owning a vineyard in the US gives direct access to one of the largest wine markets in the world. Moreover, US wineries have a great expertise in “direct to consumers” through their wine club and hospitality programs which can be inspiring.’“ In fact, Chile has been doing its part when Viña Concha y Toro acquired Fetzer and became one of the largest wine groups around the world with their own estates in Argentina with Trivento and their incursion in Mexico few months ago. Adding to this Chilean Investment wave, Quintessa and Brotherhood Winery validate the real interest In the American Market, particularly because the change of generation in southamerica is expanding into global investment fund that are starting operations in California and Miami. Janine Aquino: What inspired you to get into the business of selling wineries? I have been in the wine and winery industry for my entire life. Grew up on a vineyard growing grapes and making wine as a child and my family had a generational wine importing company in New York. I worked for wineries in the Hudson Valley region of New York, then I moved to Ohio where I owned and operated a winery for 10 years. The pandemic hit and I was given an opportunity to work at wineries in Virginia, so I took a chance and it has become a very fulfilling career. I started consulting wineries in operations and strategic planning and my clients were wanting to buy wineries and I thought since Virginia didn't really have a seasoned wine professional selling winery, this would be a great fit for me. I enjoy helping people move onto their chapter because I was in the same position when I wanted to sell my winery in Ohio.
