few months ago we hit the news that Chile had suffered a terrible earthquake, magnitude 8.8 Mw and lasting approximately 3 minutes 20 seconds in the wake of Concepción premises was tough, sad and fraught with uncertainty.
That fact itself was very unfortunate because it was just a country like many, where there are human beings like us and the human loss is irreparable, but Venezuelans are also attached to them by commercial relations have come to stay from a few years ago.
Particularly after spending the bitter pill of the news itself, I realized that one can get to know a country and love him through his wines, I felt a gap big enough and reflect on the reasons for coming to the conclusion that through Chilean wines have managed to strengthen and grow the wine culture in our country, with its many wineries we have known from north to becoming south and surprise us most.
I had a lot of anxiety to know what consequences this would bring disgrace on their vineyards when we all know that the wine industry in its economy influences enough, I was wondering how were these people I had met at various events promoted here and close ties of friendship share. In recent days
distributor Di Masi invited us to a group of bloggers and journalists to talk to Hugo Casanova, with his family owns the vineyards that bear the same name who has been many times and has earned the affection of people who have come to know. This is not a tasting and a tasting, but to explain a little effects of the earthquake not only in his vineyard, but in your country and how it could impact on trade of Chilean wines in Venezuela.
Hugo was smiling and calm, we always cheerful greeting as yet with his soft-spoken, immediately showed us a very graphic presentation which gave us some data from the consequences of the earthquake in his country, is the summary:
were lost according to official figures of 125 million liters in wine, most were in ponds and wells being the most damaged stainless steel equipment in order to harvest the grapes did not suffer major damage and delay harvest rather help you get a better winemaking process.
Chileans are completely relaxed about the power supply to all countries who have trade relations including ours, but basically it sounds extraordinary loss was not, Chile produces at least 900 million liters of wine so that practically wear was 15% which may recover in a few years.
really through his words is very quiet because it conveyed the willingness of even starting from scratch, Hugo Casanova vineyards suffered almost nothing, as it was expressed as a miracle because other colleagues if they had high losses material and human.
The Chilean winemakers go with the thinking of working steadily and recover as soon as possible, occasionally gives nostalgia but being alive and gives them strength to tell it to follow the path of productivity to succeed despite the sadness.
commitment to their country and themselves makes them both strong and humble, if every wine is a reflection of a population and an environment I'm sure it would show on the wines to come.
Despite the strong evidence for those who have to go Chile reborn today and always, with commitment, dedication and faith will be many producers like Hugo Casanova who always give us the best.
